Introduction
In recent years, the use of bionanosensors in medical diagnostics has seen a favorable rise in research due to a growing need for reliable, early-detection methods of diseases and viruses. Bionanosensors have proven their integration in smart-phone applications that further breach the boundaries between reliable, accurate, and readily-available tools for point-of-care diagnostics and treatment. Biosensors are …show more content…

In research for detecting a prostate specific antigen (PSA) for diagnosing prostate cancer, gold electrodes were used for a lab-on-a-chip-based biosensor device prototype as seen in Fig. 1 [6] [10]. The device shown is operated wirelessly using MiContTM software. [10]. Fig. 1b outlines the various internal components of the biosensor device as well as the LCD display for the end user. A schematic of the biochip is shown in Fig. 1c and the measurable size of the chip is displayed against a ruler in Fig. 1d.

Gold nanoparticles provide the capability of stable molecular immobilization without affecting bioactivities. As a result, the use of gold electrodes has been used in the successful detection of the rfbe gene E.coli 0157:H7 [4].
Nanomaterials – Carbon
Carbon nanomaterials such as graphene and methylene have been utilized because of their ability to enhance electrochemical biosensor performance and increase conductivity and stability of prepared immunosensors [6]. An immunosensor was created by coupling graphene nanosheets and gold
