Researchers at the Cidetec-IK4 technological centre have developed electrochemical sensors that, amongst other functions, enable the detection of possible mutations in DNA in a more rapid manner that has been achieved to date. The most notable aspect of the developed research is that this detection of DNA has been employed solely as a concept test, to study the viability of sensors. Thus, a wide range of possibilities has been opened for the coming years, in which nanosensors will be able to be applied to detect other types of molecules and even in the study of genetic illnesses...
