RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF BIOSENSORS IN VIETNAM: CURRENT SITUATION AND PROSPECTS.

Abstract

                  With the recent advances of micro and nano technology, biosensor has interfered

with the nanotechnology and created a new area called nanobiosensor where

we can see biosensors at the nano-scale dimensions. Nowadays, nanobiosensing

prospects have penetrated in the field of medical, biological and environmental

applications. In this context, research and development of biosensors and

nanobiosensors in Viet Nam has achieved encouraging results. Some promising

research teams have been established. Nevertheless, transforming potentialities

into useful technological products requires the continuous endeavour from scientists and the strong support from managing authorities. This article presents an overview on current situation and future perspectives of research and development of biosensors.
