Nanotechnology has revolutionized the POC testing and a range of nanomaterials such as gold [21] and silver nanoparticles [22], quantum dots [23], magnetic nanoparticles [24], carbon dots [25], etc. have been used in designing the biosensors. Nanotechnology has helped the advancement of biosensing in two major ways i.e. first, by conjugation of a bio-recognition element with enhanced nanosurfaces (surface functionalization) and second, by signal amplification strategies using various nanomaterials

So we have an advantage. We have teamed with people like Quantum Materials Corporation of the USA.

We also have part of the technology with us. We have to assemble the rest of it and start working. And in this regard we would like to ensure that some of us who are working on this project, they start putting in serious effort and probably you need to recruit a couple of experts, we are identified already. We have identified a couple of labs in Guwahati.

But the line of hope is that if we are able to show something in the quantum materials, if we are able to produce some nanoparticles here, then at least one investment will be secure whenever, you know, when the business starts running towards the normal
