Novel Optical Nanoprobes for Chemical and Biological Analysis starts with a brief introduction to several kinds of versatile nanomaterials with novel optical properties, such as gold/silver nanoparticles, quantum dots, upconversion nanoparticles and graphene. It mainly focuses on the latest sensor design strategies, which apply the optical properties of nanomaterials to various detection techniques including colorimetry, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). These sensors are attractive owing to their high sensitivity, high specificity, and potential for easy quantification of targets in many applications, such as conventional chemical and biological analysis, clinical diagnosis, and intracellular system sensing as well as single-molecule detection. ... Read moreThe challenges and future perspectives for optical nanoprobes are also presented, such as the increase in sensitivity for real environmental and clinical samples, the design and application of multifunctionalnanoplatforms, and biocompatibility of nanomaterials.

Reviews for Novel Optical Nanoprobes for Chemical and Biological Analysis
“This is a potentially useful little book that summarises the main types of nanoparticles used for optical detection of molecules and ions in the chemical and biomedical areas. The layout is neat and the treatment is fairly concise and brief. … I would suggest that it does serve as a useful compendium of the optical probe methods and with so ... Read moremany references all contained within a single volume, along with a very readable narrative it will be useful.” (Peter J. Dobson, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 58 (2), February, 2017) Show Less
