Cell-based biosensors probe nanotoxicity in real-time
Biosensing chip with a microelectrode array and cell-culture wells
Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s Nanobioengineering and Bioelectronics Lab at Florida International University, US, have demonstrated an impedance-based biosensor for kinetically measuring nanotoxicity at the cellular level. The results have been published in the journal Nanotechnology.
