DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89600) has announced the
addition of "Colloidal Nanoparticles in Biotechnology" to their
offering.

   Discover new and emerging applications of colloidal nanoparticles.
Dr. Abdelhamid Elaissari, internationally respected author and
researcher, reports on and analyzes a broad range of important
findings from new studies on the use of colloidal nanoparticles in
biomedical, food, and environmental diagnostics and analyses.
Throughout the presentation, the book uses a blend of classical tools,
including optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, microsystems,
and microfluidics, to help you take full advantage of colloidal
nanoparticles for your own research and applications.

   Among the key topics covered are:

   --  The evolution in malaria disease detection, from parasite
        visualization to colloidal-based rapid diagnostics

   --  Biospecific reactions by affinity latexes, from diagnostics to
        multiplex assays

   --  Fluorescent colloidal particles as detection tools in
        biotechnology systems

   --  Gas sensors based on ultrathin films of conducting polymers
        and nanocomposites

   --  Force measurements between emulsion droplets as a new tool for
        medical diagnostics

   --  Electrical detection of antibodies from human serum based on
        the insertion of gold-labeled secondary antibodies into
        microgaps and nanogaps

   Special attention is given to the use of particles and reactive
particles for in vitro biomedical diagnostics. In addition, the book
explores many unusual nanoparticles with interesting and helpful
applications. Biotechnological systems are presented and illustrated
using examples of actual applications, helping you progress from
theory to application.

   The first book to present and analyze the great potential of
colloidal nanoparticles across a broad range of biotechnology
applications, this guide will give you the information you need to
develop your own important applications and help you to harness these
particles' full potential.
