Biosensors

  • Conference paper
Sensors for Environment, Health and Security

Abstract

The first part of this chapter is devoted to the main definitions of biosensors. Then, the scheme for biosensor operation is presented, followed by a history of biosensor science and the first successful publications on biosensors in 1960s are discussed. A classification of biosensors is presented. Specifically, biosensors can be classified according to the type of transducer and the biorecognition mode. The advantages and limits of each type of biosensor are discussed. Electrochemical biosensors are divided into the first, second, and third generation ones depending on the coupling principle of electrochemical and biochemical reactions. The advanced first generation of glucose biosensor is presented.
