Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Functionalized Sensor for Detection of Biomarkers", for Approval (USPTO 20240337652).

Researchers have submitted a patent application for a "Functionalized Sensor for Detection of Biomarkers" to detect troponin protein in blood plasma, which is crucial for identifying heart disorders like myocardial infarction. The sensor utilizes graphene and antibodies to measure electrical properties and can detect various biomarkers, including troponin, C-reactive protein, B-type natriuretic peptide, myeloperoxidase, and creatine kinase MB. This innovative system aims to improve the detection and quantification of biomarkers in biological samples, offering potential advancements in diagnostics and screening for cardiovascular conditions.
