Nanostructured genosensors for fast detection of pathogenic microorganisms in water
Author(s): Blanca Chavez Sandoval*
The integration of nanotechnology, with molecular biology and electrochemistry, have created a great expectation due to the development of new nucleic acid detection strategies based on nanomaterials and which are important tools in genomics, medical diagnosis, pharmacogenetics, pathology, criminology, food security, environmental monitoring, among others; particularly in this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this work, the DNA detection of four microorganisms was performed: Escherichia coli; Aspergillus niger; Salmonella typhi and Achlya sp by electrochemical detection at the DNA level in water, using nanostructured genosensors, which represent a simple device; quick; accurate and economical for the detection of microorganisms.
The specific probes were designed with the primer Blast program, they were synthesized and used with Gold Nanoparticle.. View More»
