Biosensors.
This review introduces biosensors as analytical devices that respond selectively to analytes in appropriate samples and convert their concentrations into electrical signals via a combination of a biological recognition system and a suitable transducer. The last decade has seen dramatic advances in the design of sensor configurations, the marriage of biological systems with modern monolithic silicon and optical technologies, the development of effective electron-exchange systems and the introduction of direct immunosensors.
