2 results about "Metallic nanostructures" patented technology

The present application provides a device for making labels corresponding to respective kinds of bacteria or viruses, and detecting bacteria and / or viruses in a test object based on the properties of the labels. A DPV detection device (1) includes: an electrode chip (20); a voltage application unit (105) that applies a voltage in a prescribed range to the electrode chip (20); a current measurement unit (106) that measures a peak current value output from the electrode chip (20) in correspondence with the applied voltage; a data storage unit (107) that stores in advance data of peak current values and applied voltage values at the time of peak current for respective kinds of metal nanostructures; a target determination unit (108) that compares the measured data of the current measurement unit (106) with the stored data, and determines a target that binds to the metal nanostructure; and a display unit (103) that displays the determined target.

A method may include coating a substrate with a solution, where the solution includes one or more metal salts and a first solvent. The one or more metal salts may be configured to dissolve in the first solvent. The method may further include adding a second solvent to the coated substrate until one or more metal salt crystals precipitate over a surface of substrate. The second solvent may include an antisolvent where the one or more metal salts of the solution are insoluble in the second solvent. The method may further include performing a microwave heating process to apply microwave heat to the substrate while the second solvent is present to induce thermal decomposition of the one or more metal salts until one or more metal nanostructures are formed on the surface of the substrate.
