Point of Care (POC) diagnostic devices are predominantly used for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. To make these technologies scalable for manufacturing, user-friendly, inexpensive, sensitive, and rapid, a combination of such devices with nanomaterials is required. This book deals with new emerging fields such as POC technologies, advanced nanotheranostics using nanomaterials, technologies, and applications in diagnosis. In the book, current advances for the application of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and magnetic nanoparticles in POC devices and future directions are reviewed.The book: Presents a comprehensive account of needs and challenges of point-of-care diagnostics. Describes the fundamentals of rationale of nanomaterials as remarkable building blocks for biosensing. Discusses development of critical diagnosis in point of care systems. Deals with the advantages of nanomaterial-based sensing strategies. Illustrates the challenges and breakthroughs of technologies for cost-efficient biosensing platform. The book is aimed at researchers and professionals in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering.

A practical reference for the development and application of point-of-care biosensors for viral, bacterial as well as parasitic infections.

This book looks at the recent developments in the area of photocatalytic degradation of dyes using photocatalytic techniques, for example by means of various nanoparticles, heterogeneous, and hybrid systems. Dyes are one of the major groups of water pollutants and are widely used in a diverse range of industries. The toxic effects of organic dyes in wastewater can have a great environmental impact, therefore there is significant interest and need to remove these dyes effectively and efficiently during wastewater treatment.This volume covers a plethora of basics on the photochemistry of dyes and provides information on technological perspectives including reactor designs and process intensification. Since many industries release a significant amount of colored effluents, which are toxic and difficult to remove by conventional methods, the comprehensive studies herein will contribute to helping reduce the impact of colored effluents in wastewater on the environment.

Biosensors for Emerging and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases provides a review of how cornerstone optical, electronic, nanomaterial and data processing technologies can address detection issues occurring in a pandemic event. This book gives insights into the fundamental physical, chemical and biological mechanisms needed for such a type of detection. The content covers potential biomarkers which can be used for the infectious disease diagnostic, helping readers find the appropriate approach for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. It presents a novel approach to transferring the sensing platform from lab to application in clinics and to point of care detection. The book then moves on to discuss the function and efficiency of the biosensing platform in early diagnosis of infectious diseases compared to the standard methods. The required time, the technician skills and the steps which must be performed are other key factors of the biosensing platform which are well explained.
