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.
Reviews
'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
