Abstract
Recently, applications of nanotechnology in trace analyses of substances have increased very significantly. With improvements in properties of nanomaterials, such as larger surface area and surface effect, and quantum size and quantum tunnel effects, nanomaterials have been integrated to improve the sensing capabilities of microfluidic chemical sensors. This has resulted in an increase in the range of applications of microfluidics in nanotechnology and biotechnology. With the increasing miniaturization into lab-on-a-chip, chemical sensors are widely employed in various applications for the direct correlation of physical signal with incidences of chemical phenomena in health and environment. These have resulted in faster processing of samples of analytes for biotechnology and clinical diagnosis. Current applications could be extended to analyze ultra-trace analytes, and easily incorporate the information into a wireless network for real-time analyses. Therefore, this paper will explore technologies for coupling nanomaterials and microfluidic chemical sensors for interactive data transmission to a remote central server, along with analyses, retrieval and visualization over the wireless sensor network.
