What Role Do Nanocatalysts Play in H. pylori Detection?
Nanocatalysts offer a high surface area-to-volume ratio, which can significantly enhance reaction rates. In the context of H. pylori detection, nanocatalysts can be used to develop biosensors that provide rapid and accurate results. These biosensors typically involve a catalytic reaction that produces a detectable signal (such as a color change or fluorescence) in the presence of H. pylori. For instance, gold nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles have been explored for their catalytic properties in developing highly sensitive diagnostic assays.
