Iranian Scientists Produce Environmentally-Friendly Nanosensor to Detect Aluminum in Food
“This nanosensor is a simple and biocompatible strip-shaped sensor that changes color in the presence of small amounts of aluminum ions,” Fatemeh Mohseni, a faculty member of the Islamic Azad University’s Bandar Abbas branch, told ANA on the sidelines of the 14th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
Elaborating on features of the nanosensor, she said, “Compatibility with the environment and easy and fast use, and being cost-effective, disposable, portable, high sensitivity and detection of aluminum in food matrices (polymer package) are among the advantages of this nanosensor.”
“This nanosensor was tested on a tea sample and obtained good results that can easily show little amounts,” Mohseni added.
The 14th International Nano Exhibition kicked off in Tehran on November 4 in the presence of companies active in the nanotechnology field.
As the biggest nano event in Iran, the exhibition is an opportunity to get to know about the latest achievements and developments in the field of nanotechnology.
Dozens of nanotechnological companies are present at this year's nano exhibition in various fields like oil and energy, health and health, water and environment, agriculture and packaging, automobile, paint and coating, construction, textiles, and advanced materials, and they are displaying their achievements.
The exhibition provides a suitable opportunity for technological cooperation between startups and activists of the country's innovation ecosystem in the way of commercialization of products.
