Summary

1. Biosensors: An Introduction begins by introducing the reader, systematically and comprehensively, to the basic features of biosensors, discussing the types of biological materials used and the ways in which they can be connected with a variety of transducers to create the complete biosensor. Performance characteristics of a wide range of biosensors are discussed, and details of the most important types of biosensor currently used are presented.
2. A highly practical chapter containing details of a number of biosensor experiments for undergraduate and postgraduate students is included, while applications of biosensors across a broad range of fields, and consideration of the commercial techniques for manufacturing biosensors, are presented in the final chapter.
3. Biosensors: An Introduction is an invaluable reference source for anyone working with biosensors, and a highly practical learning tool for those studying any aspect of the subject. Its unique combination of introductory and more advanced material provides the necessary bridge for all those wishing to become more involved in this expanding and fascinating field.
