  • Patent number: 8623636
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of biosensors and, more specifically, to nanoparticle biosensors comprising: a magnetic core, a silica layer, one or more outer metal layers which can be of different types and deposited in an alternating manner and immobilized on the outer surface, and a layer of synthetic or natural organic or inorganic biosensor molecules that can bind to biomolecules. The invention also relates to a method of obtaining the nanoparticle biosensors as well as to the different uses thereof.

  • Publication number: 20130065257
    Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and systems are disclosed for implementing enzyme-logic based diagnosis that uses patterns of multiple markers and biochemical processing of the signal information for reliably identifying cardiac abnormalities and providing a final digital binary answer. In one aspect, a biochemical logic sensing system includes a network of enzyme-biocatalyzed logic gates adapted to receive biomarker input signals and perform an enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction resembling a Boolean logic operation using the received biomarker input signals to generate an output signal of the enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction. A signal processing unit is connected to the network of enzyme-biocatalyzed logic gates. The signal processing unit processes the generated output signal of the enzyme-biocatalyzed reaction and generates a digital binary output having a value of zero or one. The generated digital binary output indicates a type of an injury.
