As discussed earlier in the types of Nanosensors the
physical Nanosensors detect and measure the changes occurring in the
environment as changes in the temperature and mass. However, one important
point in the physical Nano-sensors is displacement as physical Nano-sensors can
also measure and displacement in the objects to be studied [2]. How much the
specific particles and objects moved and displaced can be measured through the
use of Nano-meter scale. According to the research, Physical nano-sensors use
the scale and provide numerical information about the displacement in response
to some changes or fluctuations. AFM and STM are most frequently used sensors
that provide information about the displacement. However, there are also other
options available for the appropriate and fair measurement and detection of the
displacement that is magnetomotive based options. In the past displacement
sensing was a difficult task that was highly dependent on the electron
tunneling devices while now Nano-sensors are making it easy to measure,
determine and response towards the displacement.
Chemical Nano
The chemical sensor is a device that transforms all the
chemical information in the analytical signal. The chemical information
includes concentration, ion, chemical activity and the partial pressure. The
chemical information originate from reaction and can be used in different areas
of home safety, medicine and environmental pollution [5].
The chemical sensors are based on the components that are
connected to the series of chemical reactions. The reaction system includes
recognition system, receptor, and physicochemical transducer [3].
The receptor interacts with the analytic molecules and physical properties of
the chemical sensors changes with the appending transducer and it can be
transformed into the electrical signals. The function of the receptor can be
generated by different layers and it can interact with the analytic molecules.
The reaction participate on the basis of receptor layers [5].
The molecular recognition can be used for the description for the molecular
behavior. The interaction process used in the chemical sensors are ion
exchange, adsorption, and liquid extraction. The small amounts of the chemical
vapors can be detected by chemical sensors. The increase in the concentration requires
less exposure. The chemical sensors uses carbon nanotubes embedded in the gel
and the monitoring process identifies nitric oxide flow in the blood [5].
Antibody and antigen
The nanoscale material have unique properties that increases
at 1000 nm, the antibody nano sensors detects biological molecules identified
in the environmental, clinical, and chemical sensors [6].
The antibody nanosensor is highly sensitive and selected for the recognizing of
single molecules. The antibody nanosensor transduction method is used for
magnetic, optical, and electrochemical materials [3].
DNA interaction and
Enzyme interaction
The nanosensors are incorporated with the fast electron
transportation and the capability of the sensors is conjugate of the
biomolecules [7].
The sensors identifies enzymes, antibodies, and DNA composition. The sensor identifies
by immunoassay technique for the phosphate buffer solution and concentration of
the chemical. Enzymes are biomolecules including proteins and DNA and allows
the direct electron transfer [5].
Conclusion of the Nano Sensor
Nanosensors are used to detect changes at nanoscale level.
The nanosensors are chemical sensors and mechanical sensors. There are number
of applications of nanosensors as used to detect various chemicals in different
environments such as gasses are detected in pollution monitoring process. The
medical diagnostic applications are blood borne sensors and the lab on a chip
devices.
