Fundamentals and Applications of Biosensors - by Michael Keller (Hardcover)

About the Book

Biosensors are innovative devices designed to detect biological substances by converting biological responses into measurable signals. They typically consist of a biological component (such as enzymes, antibodies, or tissues) and a transducer that translates the biological response into an electrical, optical, or chemical signal. These devices find extensive applications in various fields including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Biosensors offer rapid detection capabilities, high sensitivity, and specificity, making them invaluable in detecting pathogens, pollutants, biomarkers, and even explosives. Advancements in nanotechnology and biotechnology continue to enhance biosensor performance, enabling miniaturization, improved accuracy, and lower costs. As technology evolves, biosensors promise to play a crucial role in personalized medicine, real-time health monitoring, and the development of smart and sustainable environments. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of biosensors. It explores all the important aspects of biosensors in the present day scenario. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
