About this book
There is a particular focus on electrochemical and optical detection systems,
including those employing carbon nanotubes, quantum dots and metal
nanoparticles. The authors are well-known scientists and most of them are editors of respected international scientific journals. Although recently developed biosensors utilize known principles, the biosensing devices described can significantly shorten the time required for successful detection and enhance efforts in more time-consuming directions, e.g. remote sensing systems and validation in real-sample analysis.
The authors describe advances in all stages of biosensor development: the
selection of biochemical components, their use in biosensor assembly, detection principles and improvements and applications for real sample assays.
