Commercial Biosensors
Applications in Clinical, Bioprocess and Environmental Samples
edited by Graham Ramsay

Combining design aspects of biotechnology and analytical instrumentation, immunobiosensors are a method of rapid, in-field detection of toxins such as pesticides and hazardous wastes.

Easy-to-use and manufacture, inexpensive, reusable, and accurate, immunobiosensors are attracting a great deal of attention from analytical chemists involved with environmental, clinical and food analysis.

This book provides the reader with a thorough understanding of immunobiosensors, with an emphasis on their sensitivity, application, accuracy, and analytical protocols.

Over the course of seven chapters, readers learn all about the latest in:

• Biosensor-based instruments in food and beverage production
• Biosensors in environmental sampling
• Biosensors and diabetes management
• Microfabricated biosensors and point-of-care diagnostics systems
• Noninvasive biosensors in clinical analysis
• Surface plasmon resonance and evanescent wave biosensors
