COVID-19 Diagnostic Technologies covers diagnostic tests and sensing technologies, their characteristics, and limitations for the detection and diagnosis of COVID-19. The book focuses on laboratory or portable based sensing technologies aims and the potential benefit of promising low-cost and portable strategies for accurate detection of the viral diseases. COVID-19 Diagnostic Technologies opens with introduction and reviews the virology of SARS-CoV-2. It goes on to discuss nucleic acid-based tests for viral RNA detection which covers PCR-based tests, Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification, DNA-microarray-based tests, and sequencing-based tests. Protein-based tests, which include neutralizing antibodies, serological tests, and antigenic tests, are also discussed. The book concludes with novel strategies for viral detection like emerging biosensors, nanotechnology, and the role of new digital technologies.
CMOS technologies and their ongoing downscaling trend have opened an avenue to developing integrated systems for life sciences. This book explores the theoretical and practical aspects of CMOS biosensors and discusses the fundamentals of biological applications and microfabrication.
1.1 Overview of Lab-on-Chip Laboratory-on-Chip (LoC) is a multidisciplinary approach used for the miniaturization, integration and automation of biological assays or procedures in analytical chemistry [1–3]. Biology and chemistry are experimental sciences that are continuing to evolve and develop new protocols. Each protocol offers step-by-step laboratory instructions, lists of the necessary equipments and required biological and/or chemical substances [4–7]. A biological or chemical laboratory contains various pieces of equipment used for performing such protocols and, as shown in Fig. 1.1, the engineering aspect of LoC design is aiming to embed all these components in a single chip for...
About the Book The book includes a variety of techniques that are conducting biosensors as transducers. The single die has all of the biosensors implemented within it, which leads to a new generation of multibiosensors named as multi-labs-on-a-single chip (MLoC). Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biologically sensitive element with a physical or chemical transducer to detect the presence of specific compounds selectively and quantitatively. This book explores the feasibility of microelectronic techniques in a successful attempt to get huge cost savings in mass production, fast reacting, and disposable biosensors. The book is lied in six chapters and four appendices. These sens...
Final program for the CMOSET 2007 conference.
The book will address the-state-of-the-art in integrated Bio-Microsystems that integrate microelectronics with fluidics, photonics, and mechanics. New exciting opportunities in emerging applications that will take system performance beyond offered by traditional CMOS based circuits are discussed in detail. The book is a must for anyone serious about microelectronics integration possibilities for future technologies. The book is written by top notch international experts in industry and academia. The intended audience is practicing engineers with electronics background that want to learn about integrated microsystems. The book will be also used as a recommended reading and supplementary material in graduate course curriculum.
Developing capacitive sensors for use in life sciences requires thorough knowledge of both the intended biological applications and CMOS circuitry. This book addresses the principles, design, implementation and testing, and packaging of CMOS circuits for biomedical applications, plus relevant biological protocols.
This book presents the proceedings of the IUPESM World Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics, a tri-annual high-level policy meeting dedicated exclusively to furthering the role of biomedical engineering and medical physics in medicine. The book offers papers about emerging issues related to the development and sustainability of the role and impact of medical physicists and biomedical engineers in medicine and healthcare. It provides a unique and important forum to secure a coordinated, multileveled global response to the need, demand and importance of creating and supporting strong academic and clinical teams of biomedical engineers and medical physicists for the benefit of human health.
