Abstract
Even if the pesticides can cause different diseases, there are few methods to detect their influence and presence within the food products. However, it has been found a way to detect these harmful substances. The use of a potentiostat within a telemetry system can represent the solution to this problem. The potentiostat is an electronic device which can control a three electrode cell and run electroanalytical experiments. This paper aims to present methods and components of a telemetry system. It represents an experimental demonstrative model for immunobiosensor, composed of carbon nanomaterials/magnetic and antibodies serving for detecting the carbamate pesticides in horticultural products. In addition, a way of exploiting the properties of nanomaterials which could provide great platforms for the electronic/optic signals generator required for the development of a new generation of bio-detection devices will be presented.
