Abstract

Usually, when modeling a biosensor as a flat electrode having one or several layers sandwich-likely applied onto the electrode surface, a mathematical model of the biosensor is formulated in a one-dimensional-in-space domain. This chapter deals with the modeling of biosensors for which two-dimensional-in-space domains are used when describing mathematically the biosensor action.
