Biosensor noninvasive

Biosensors (qv) and DNA probes ate relatively new to the field of diagnostic reagents. Additionally, a neat-infrared (nit) monitoring method (see Infrared TECHNOLOGY AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY), a teagenfless, noninvasive system, is under investigation. However, prospects for a nit detection method for glucose and other analytes ate uncertain.

Biosensors can also represent a good method to evaluate the antioxidant status through the measurement of biomarkers, i.e., biological molecules whose chemical structure has been modified as a result of an oxidative stress condition [118]. The usefulness of biosensors to evaluate the antioxidant status lies in their ability both to improve food quality and provide early indication of some disease, or its progression, in a noninvasive way to evaluate the effectiveness of the antioxidant therapy. 

All of the aforementioned biosensors are designed for a standard stirred-tank bioreactor they will not work with smaller-scale vessels such as shake flasks. Small noninvasive sensors have been developed to measure D.O. and pC02 inside shake and T-flasks40,41 A D.O. or pC02 detecting patch is placed in the flask, and this patch contains an oxygen or carbon dioxide luminescent dye. The color shifts of these dyes are detected using an external fluorometer.

The health care industry is capitalizing on new medical technologies based on loT that will both dramatically improve care and lower costs. There is a dramatic growth in medical devices that use wireless technologies, some implanted and some worn on the body, to control bodily functions and to measure an array of physiological parameters. For example, implanted devices with biosensors and actuators can control heart rhythms, monitor hypertension, provide functional electrical stimulation of nerves, operate as glaucoma sensors, and monitor bladder and cranial pressure [3]. Electronic textiles (E-Tex)-based WBSNs for noninvasive health care monitoring will be the most... 

Advances in miniaturization and biosensors are expected to facilitate noninvasive monitoring of neuronal signaling and intracellular environment, thus greatly improving the diagnosis and treatment of nervous-system disorders. 

We may be entering an era of significant progress in appUcalions of enzyme films to biosensors, bioreactors, biomedical devices, and fundamental biochemical research. We might expect future biosensors that can detect physiological abnormalities from analysis of blood or urine or even from noninvasive analyses...
