Biosensors in critical care.
Electrochemical bio/chemosensors are ideally suited to critical care situations. Factors such as fast response, portability, minimal sample preparation, and lack of need for highly trained staff reduce the time between testing and therapeutic decision. In addition, the accuracy of these devices approaches that of more traditional laboratory-based clinical analysers.
