Point of Care Diagnostic
Point-of-Care-Diagnostik
5 CPWinterEN
Contents
In the lecture different bioanalytical detection techniques will be presented, whereby the biosensorics occupy a partly higher importance. Important combinations of biomolecules with sensors and their bioanalytical application are discussed. On the basis of practice-relevant examples, the development of individual biosensors will be presented, as well as their limitations and solutions for optimization discussed. Other topics include biochip technology, molecular diagnostics, point of care testing (POCT), on-site analysis and nanobiotechnology. • Enzymatic sensor concepts and selected examples (glucose oxidase enzyme electrode) • DNA Sensors • Immunosensors • Cell-based biosensors • In vivo Biosensors • Disposable biosensors in point-of-care applications: concepts and fabrication • Clinical applications: blood gas analyses, coagulation diagnosis, cardiovascular diseases Current publications in the field of point-of-care diagnostics and on-site analysis will be presented and discussed with regard to a point-of-care application.
Learning outcomes
The module teaches the basics of point of care diagnostics / point of care analysis, molecular diagnostics, biochip technology and their techniques. The students will be able to explain the term point of care testing using concrete examples and are introduced in scientific thinking. The module teaches special abilities and knowledge in the field of bioanalytics for biotechnologically and biochemically oriented students.After successful participation in the module students are able to explain and apply scientific principles as well as specialised and in-depth knowledge. -They can develop independent ideas and concepts to solve scientific and professional problems.
