Synopsis

A biosensor produces a signal proportional in strength or frequency to the concentration of biochemical to which its biological component reacts. This book 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. In addition, typical applications of the sensor are described along with any pretreatment of the sample that may be necessary to remove interferences or ensure linearity of the sensor's response. A final chapter on the theoretical analysis of biosensor response characteristics is provided to aid in optimizing any device's performance. "Biosensors" provides an up-to-date account of techniques which will find widespread application by life scientists in universities and industry.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Each chapter is well written and well illustrated to give the reader a practical as well as a theoretical feel for the area. I would certainly recommend this book to students and researchers alike. Biosensors: A Practical Approach is a worthy addition to the texts dealing with this important area.' Marco Cardosi, Paisley College of Technology, Trends in Food Science & Technology, Volume 2, No. 1 [7] January 1991

'delightful little book on biosensors ... Introduction of a new volume in the "practical approach" series is likely to stimulate further research and interest in this already burgeoning area ... it provides a very useful and inexpensive "hands-on" companion to the practising bench scientist interested both in the further development of such devices or in their use in new application areas.' Dr CR Lowe, Inst Biotechnol, University of Cambridge, Bio-Electronics & Biosensors, Volume 4, Number 13, Early July 1991

Présentation de l'éditeur

The most common aim of a biosensor is to produce a signal proportional in strength or frequency to the concentration of a 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.
