Biosensors: Migrating from Clinical to Environmental Industries
نویسنده
چکیده
Biosensors are analytical devices that are capable of providing a selective sensitive information by means of a biorecognition element and a transducer to an electrical signal. They appeared as a respond to fast observation and pathogen identification in clinical application and have grown toward different markets such as environmental monitoring, food and biodefense. Within biosensors, electrochemical biosensors have been preferred for in situ recognition due to their facility of being miniaturized for end user devices [1]. Nevertheless, even if there is a clear growing market, there is still a gap between academically developed biosensors and the ones that can be industrialized.
