Remote System for Monitoring Animal Models With Single-Metabolite Bio-Nano-Sensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Eric Meurville, Cristina Boero, Andrea Cavallini, Léandre Bolomey

A novel system for remote monitoring of metabolism in an animal model is proposed in this paper. The system is obtained by integrating bio-nano-sensors to detect single- metabolites, an electrochemical front-end made with off-the-shelf components, a radio ...
