Scientists in Dublin, Canada and France have built a new kind of biosensor based on the use of graphene that can detect cholera toxins. It provides a reading in minutes in contrast to current detection methods that can take hours.
Long hailed as an important discovery for the electronics industry, graphene now looks set to also play a role in biological sensing. The researchers say their sensor could be used to provide an early diagnosis for cancer or near instantly identify infectious diseases.
