Nanomaterial Bioconjugation Techniques

The Future of Bioimaging

The combination of nanomaterials and biomolecules is an exciting and rapidly developing area of biomedical and diagnostics innovation. This handbook is a guide for surface modification and bioconjugation of inorganic nanomaterials with applications in diagnostics.

With a foreword by leading bioconjugation expert, Dr. Greg Hermanson, the handbook is organized into three themes for easy navigation:

• Magnetic imaging
• Fluorescence imaging
• Optical-based imaging

This handbook is a must-have for those working at the intersection of nanomaterials, engineering and diagnostics innovation.
