Biosensors
The integration of graphene into biosensors can significantly improve diagnostic capabilities. Graphene biosensors promise to deliver faster time to result, dramatically lower test costs, and reduced sample prep.
The advantages of graphene FETs (field effect transistors) in biosensors has been shown repeatedly in a range of published research papers, but the challenge has always been around the ability to produce consistent graphene in high volumes. Paragraf’s unique and differentiated capability to mass produce graphene-based electronic components using standard semiconductor processes now opens the possibility for the practical application of graphene-based biosensors across a range of markets and use cases.

IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Graphene biosensors are functionalised using DNA, RNA, antigens, antibodies, aptamers, affimers and enzymes for a wide range of target biomarkers.
This functionalisation can be achieved using off-the-shelf reagents that allow the detection of a broad array of target molecules. Selectivity of biosensors is enhanced by the high sensitivity of high-purity 2D graphene, creating biosensors that are able to detect extremely low concentrations of pathogens/analytes in fluids and gases.
