Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a biosensor?

  • To convert the information into a measurable effect such as an electrical/optical signal
  • To interact with the bioreceptor and produce an effect measured by the transducer

    Study Notes

    Bioelectronics and Biosensors

    • Bioelectronics deals with the application of electronics principles to biology and medicine.
    • Biosensor is a special type of bioelectronic device used in bioanalysis.

    Biosensor Definition and Components

    • A biosensor is a compact analytical device incorporating a biological or biologically derived sensing element with a physicochemical transducer.
    • A biosensor consists of three basic components: biological recognition system (bioreceptor), transducer, and microelectronics.
    • Biosensor operating principles: biological recognition and sensing.

    Biosensor Functionality

    • The biosensor detects molecular recognition and transforms it into another signal type using a transducer.
    • The recognition system provides the sensor with a high degree of selectivity for the analyte to be measured.
    • The bioreceptor-analyte interaction produces an effect measured by the transducer, converting it into a measurable signal (e.g., electrical/optical signal).

    Biosensor Characteristics and Purpose

    • A biosensor is an independently integrated receptor transducer device, providing selective quantitative or semiquantitative analytical information.
    • The purpose of a biosensor is to provide rapid, real-time, accurate, and reliable information about the analyte.
    • Ideal biosensor characteristics: continuous, reversible, and non-perturbing to the sample.

    Biosensor Applications

    • Biosensors are envisioned to play a significant analytical role in medicine, agriculture, food safety, bioprocessing, environmental and industrial monitoring.
