The objective is an analysis of the fluctuations and of the biological noise induced by the inherent randomness of the hybridization process at the surface. ...
This work deals with the stochastic simulation of a nanowire biosensor surface and the surrounding liquid domain for DNA detection. ...
Signal-to-Noise ratio The signal-to-noise ratio is an important quantity in sensor design, since it is a measure for the quality of a signal and determines the treshold for distinguishing it from noise ...
