Point of care (POC) diagnostic devices are predominantly used for the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. To make these technologies scalable for manufacturing, user-friendly, inexpensive, sensitive, and rapid, a combination of such devices with nanomaterials is required. This book deals with new emerging fields such as POC technologies and advanced nanotheranostics using nanomaterials and... Read more
