Pathogens, infectious agentsthat cause disease, can include microscopic viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Bothbiomarkers and biosensorscan detect and identify pathogenic agents. After using biomarkers to measure and detect pathogenic factors and assess biological conditions., drugs can be delivered to the target tissue so that other tissues are not damaged.
Biomarkers are广泛分布于各种器官人体。资源：Research, A Science Partner Journal.
相反，生物传感器是用于血糖测量，污染控制，DNA分析以及药物影响的血糖测量，污染控制，DNA分析以及药物效果的研究的生物学装置。为此，生物传感器具有生物识别元件或生物识别元件和换能器，以提供电信号。
Commercially可用的生物标志物传感器based on electrochemistry, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), nanowires and other microstructures have been used in biological information detection and medical fields. Ongoing research and development efforts target other viable approaches to improve accuracy and repeatability and lower cost. For example, using the enzymatic-amperometric measurement principle,Innovative Sensor Technology(IST) AG offers biosensors designed to measure the concentration of glucose, lactate, glutamine and glutamate in aqueous media.
最近，Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited宣布其Bioptx platform of biomarker sensingproducts for the medical and healthcare market. With the healthcare sensing platform, medical institutions including hospitals, research clinics, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers and other healthcare providers have increased ability to non-invasively monitor the general wellness of individuals.
Using its silicon photonics platform technology, the company expects to extend the range of biomarkers that can be detected and measured by existing technologies. The expanded range of biomarkers will include core body temperature, blood pressure, body hydration, alcohol, lactate, and glucose trends and others. By providing real-time, continuous insights into a variety of health conditions and with early detection of multiple disease states, the new measurement capabilities can significantly transform healthcare.
