Smartphones for cell and biomolecular detection.

摘要: Recent advances in biomedical science and technology have played a significant role the development of new sensors assays for cell biomolecular detection. Generally, these efforts are aimed at reducing complexity costs associated with diagnostic testing so that it can be performed outside laboratory or hospital setting, requiring minimal equipment user involvement. In particular, point-of-care (POC) offers immense potential many important applications including medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety, biosecurity. When coupled smartphones, POC systems offer portability, ease use enhanced functionality while maintaining performance. This review article focuses on recent advancements developments smartphone-based within last 6 years an emphasis These devices typically comprise multiple components, such as detectors, sample processors, disposable chips, batteries, software, which integrated commercial smartphone. One most aspects developing is integration components onto compact lightweight platform requires power. Researchers demonstrated several promising approaches employing various detection schemes device configurations, expected further biosensors, battery miniaturized electronics will enable technologies to become more mainstream tools scientific communities.
