  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Handbook of Bioanalytics

Abstract

Nowadays, biosensors are gaining more and more attention due to their advantages and a broad area of their application including medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical analyses, environment monitoring, and food quality verification. The presented chapter is devoted to the basic issues related to biosensors such as biological receptors and mechanisms of biological recognition, the most commonly used components of immobilization composites, and the applied detection techniques.
