Bio-FETs for Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Bio-FETs are biosensor transducers that utilize transistors for biological applications, such as rapid medical diagnostic tests. They have emerged as a label-free technology to rival incumbent, labelled transduction methods. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the players developing bio-FET technologies, discusses the use of graphene and carbon nanotubes as semiconductor materials in bio-FETs, and identifies the advantages and constraints to bio-FETs in rapid diagnostics.
