Several types of nanomaterials are employed in bioanalytical research, including:
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs): Known for their unique optical properties, they are used in colorimetric assays and imaging applications. Quantum dots (QDs): Semiconductor nanocrystals with unique fluorescence properties, used for multiplexed imaging and detection. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs): Cylindrical nanostructures with high electrical conductivity, used in electrochemical sensors. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs): Used for magnetic separation and targeted delivery in bioassays.
