Possible Route for Carbon Nanotube Alignment for Application in Biosensors: A Minireview |Biomedgrid

The next big revolution in medicine is likely to be individualized healthcare. Essential to this is data on individuals. Biosensors will be essential in collecting data on the health and functions of individuals. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have great potential for applications in biosensors. One of the more significant challenges in bringing CNT biosensors to market is the scalability of their production. CNT alignment is a major obstacle in the implementation of CNTs in biosensors. Electrophoretic methods have been used to align CNTs in computer chip synthesis. Electrophoretic alignment is highly scalable and should be studied further for its use in biosensor synthesis.
