Practical Approach Series Biosensors

Biosensors produce signals proportional in strength or frequency to the concentration of biochemical to which their biological components react. This book describes the design, construction, optimization and application of the component, its attachment to the transducer and interfacing of the sensing element to appropriate electronic circuitry. The most common aim of a biosensor is to produce a signal proportional in strength or frequency to the concentration of chemical or biochemical to which the biological element reacts. This volume describes the design, construction, optimization, and application of the biological component, its attachment to the transducer, and interfacing of the sensing element to appropriate electronic circuitry.
