Nanotechnology is a budding field and has a pivotal role in sensing. Nanomaterials exist in various forms such as nanoparticles, nanoclusters, nanobelts, and nanospheres. These nanomaterials act as sensing interface and immobilization surface for various biomolecules such as enzymes, DNA, antigen, etc. Therefore, preparation and characterization of these nanoparticles play an important role in sensing devices.

This handbook has evolved from the authors’ teaching and research experience in the field of nanoparticle biosensing. It encompasses protocols for synthesis of various forms of metal oxide nanoparticles; study of the various characterizing techniques that help deduce the shape, size, and morphology of these nanoparticles; and applications of these nanoparticles in the field of biosensors. It presents voltammery techniques such as cyclic, linear wave, wave pulse, and differential pulse voltammetry. It throws light on interactions of nanomaterials and biomolecules and discusses microfluidic devices, which due to their unique capability of miniaturization fascinate many researchers. It thus aims to introduce the various basic principles and practical information needed by undergraduate and advanced-level students and researchers to understand the science behind nanoscale sensing.

Jagriti Narang is assistant professor at Amity Institute of Nanotechnology, Amity University, Uttar Pradesh, India, and has work experience of more than 8 years. She has authored or coauthored 57 research papers in international peer-reviewed journals. She holds seven patents on biosensors and uses of nanotechnology in molecular techniques. She was awarded a silver medal for extraordinary contribution during her PhD. She has also been project investigator and co-project investigator in two projects by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. She is committee member of many international conferences and is member of Material Research Society of India and Society of Biological Chemistry. She is also editor and peer reviewer of many international journals and has presented her papers on several international platforms. Dr. Narang has done extensive work on the fabrication of various biosensors that are used for measuring serum metabolites like triglycerides, cholesterol, glutathione, peroxides, bilirubin, oxalates, lysine, and ascorbic acid. In the area of drug monitoring, she has done extensive work on anti-HIV, anti-epileptic, and anti-diabetic drugs. She has proposed some laboratory models that can be converted into commercial monitoring devices.
