Iranian scientists build biological nano-sensor for early cancer diagnosis

TEHRAN. KAZINFORM Iranian researchers have designed a biological sensor for early detection of cancer.The material used by nano-structure material is of high sustainability and economical.

Dr. Haniyeh Fayazfar, a material engineering student in Sharif University and lead author of the study, said, "Extra-sensitive biological sensor is of significance in early DNA diagnosis for cancer. Biological-electrochemical sensors make it possible."

She noted that the aim of the project is to build and investigate a biological sensor extra-sensitive in early diagnosis of DNA consecutives, related to cancer genetic mutation, ISNA reports. She also said simple production, low cost, swift response and high sensitivity are some features of the nano-sensor. The method is used for geno-sensors for early diagnosis of genetic mutation and DNA consecutives. The results of the study have been published in Analytica Chimica Acta.
