Hydrogel for Diagnostics
Given the remarkable characteristics of hydrogels, including their abundant water content and ability to react within interconnected networks, the utilization of hydrogel sensors can provide significant enhancements for the development of innovative detection systems in diverse diagnostic applications.
Advantages of Hydrogel for Diagnostics
Due to its distinct attributes, the applications of hydrogel in biotechnology fields like molecular diagnostics have been extensive.
Stimulus Responsivity
In the field of diagnostics, polymeric solutions undergo physical changes in response to biochemical stimuli or the presence of target molecules, resulting in either the formation or deformation of a hydrogel network.
Specific Targets
The versatility of hydrogels lies in their ability to incorporate specific molecules or ligands that facilitate selective binding to target analytes, thereby enabling the design of diagnostic platforms tailored to specific applications.
For Multiple Diseases
Hydrogel-based biosensors hold great potential in the detection of biochemicals, pathogenic proteins, and disease-specific genes, thereby providing valuable diagnostics into specific medical conditions such as microbial infections and cancer.
High Sensitivity
The hydrogel-based sensor exhibits remarkable capability in overcoming biological low activity and preserving the inherent structure of ligands and enzymes, thereby ensuring the sensitivity and practicality of the sensing devices.
Utilization of Hydrogel for Diagnostics
The utilization of hydrogel-based biosensors can significantly expand their applications in diverse diagnostic fields.
In the field of in vitro diagnosis, biomarkers, which are chemical indicators, have garnered significant attention for monitoring pathological conditions. To achieve this goal, diverse sensor platforms utilizing different sensing mechanisms have been developed. The most commonly employed method involves harnessing the specific binding affinity between biomolecules (such as antibodies, aptamers, and enzymes) and their target analytes.
The detection systems for analyzing various drugs or toxins have a wide range of diagnostic applications, including the prevention and control of drug abuse and misuse of antibiotics, the prohibition of food contamination, and the monitoring of drug concentrations in body fluids to adjust medication dosages.
