Activities 2012
Project months 1 to 4;
Planned – to start secondment visits in November;
Delayed - due to readiness of consortia to susstain the
success by new complementary projects:
a)
b)
- involvement of consortium members in writing and submition FP7 –PEOPLE-2013 –
ITN project proposal on 22.11.2012:
METONANOSENS’ Nr. ID 607534)
-
involvement of consortium members in writing and submision of
FP7 –PEOPLE-2013 –IAPP project proposal on 16.01.2013:
METOXNANOBIO Nr. ID612325
- overestimation of capacity to deal with formalities;
- other reasons: annual reporting, exams and reasignement of contracts in non EU institutions.
C) Activities of consortium performed in addition beyond
planned: see details in slides Nr. 29, 31, 34

Needs for agriculture
 -toxins, plant and animal diseases
 -rapid express methods of diagnostics
 -selectivity to one sort of biomolecules
 -low cost of monitoring devices
Biosensors – are the solution
Dr.Arnolds Ubelis

Biosensor definition (by Wikipedia)
 A biosensor is an analytical device for the detection of an analyte
that combines a biological component with a physicochemical
detector that cannot detect.
It consist of:
 the sensitive biological element (biological material, e.g. tissue, microorganisms,
organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antybodies, nucleic asids, etc)
 the transducer or the detector element (works in a physicochemical way;
optical, piezoelectric, electrochemical, etc.) that transforms the signal resulting
from the interaction of the analyte with the biological element into
another signal (i.e., transducers) that can be more easily measured and
quantified;
 biosensor reader device with the associated electronics or signal
processors that are primarily responsible for the display of the results
in a user-friendly way.

Advantages of
nanomaterials
 -low dimensions
 -quantum confinement effects
 -high surface area
 -affinity to bio molecules
 -many methods of depositions
Dr.Arnolds Ubelis

Optical transducers
Indifferent to electromagnetic fields:
 Stable in aggressive environment;
 Precise measurement;
 Low cost and small size (optical fibers);
 Able to create network and distance
sensing.
