SANTA CLARA, CA /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NanoSensors Inc., a nanotechnology company that develops instruments and sensors to detect explosives, chemicals, and biological agents, announced that it has initiated an evaluation on a generic biosensor design that will accommodate a sensor on a chip.
A preliminary industrial design of a biosensor product has started. The design includes the electronic package for housing the sensor, the technique for mounting the sensor in the housing, and the procedure for assembling the device. The process details on functionalization of the sensor to detect specific agents and a technique to protect the sensor assembly after the functionalization process are being developed.
The prototypes of this generic biosensor design will be built by year-end. The schedule for independent third-party testing of these prototypes is in the first quarter of 2007.
