QDs make DNA detection faster and simpler

Assay of the Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group. "CdS. Quantum dots behave as electrochemical tags in easy-to-use device".

The Nanobioelectronics and Biosensors Group at CIN2 is working on the design of low-cost, user-friendly and efficient nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Easy to operate, these devices can be used by non-specialists to perform fast diagnostic functions at home or in the doctor's office. Other uses include the control of food quality and security applications.
