Executive Summary :

A sensor element was made using transition metal oxide (molybdenum oxide nanoparticlesmodified with ruthenium(II). Opto-electrochemical properties and cytocompatibility were investigated and the observed results are communicated for publication in journal “Colloid. Surface B: Biointerfaces”. Further, optimization on the current sensitivity, enzyme/antibody immobilization and immunosensor application are needs to be explored for health care device fabrication

Total Budget (INR):

35,00,000
