Patent on DEVELOPING A BIO WASTE DERIVED DEVICE FOR BIOLOGICAL ANALYTES DETECTION

Patent Application No: 202131017238

About the Patent

In recent years, biomass gaining importance as it is used as a source of biogas and biofuel. Even though there has been an adept awareness in using biomass, however, its use is very limited to the production of renewable energy. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), each year near about 1.3 billion tons of foods (biomass) are wasted worldwide. In addition to that household biomass is getting waste; especially biomass leftover after the consumption of fruits, is not being used for any purpose. Custard apple fruit peel waste is a fine example for such waste which gives huge biomass after its pulp has been used in fruit processing industries and even personal consumption. Based on the fact that the biomass is a huge source of carbon; we have hypothesized the use of waste custard apple peel biomass as a carbon source for the generation of carbon nano materials, especially carbon nano dots (CNDs). 

The present invention demonstrates the use of carbon nano dots (CNDs) to detect the biological analytes based on the conductivity phenomenon. The biological analytes which are to be detected, is mixed with the certain known concentration of the carbon nano dots (CNDs), gives definite conductivity depending on its (analyte) concentration and chemical nature. Moreover, the present invention relates to a device for determining conductivity based biological analytes namely dopamine, creatinine, glucose, protein molecules and enzymes concentration etc.
