The Principles of Microbial Biosensors

Introduction

The underlying basis of a microbial biosensor is the close proximity between an immobilized microorganism that serves as a specific recognition element and an electrochemical or optical sensing transducer that is used to convert the biochemical signal into an … Read More

Basic Features of Enzyme Based Biosensors

Enzymes are the commonly used biological sensing element in the fabrication of various biosensors. Enzymes have unique properties and ability to accelerate chemical reactions inside biological cells. Most enzymes react only with specific substrates even though they may be contained … Read More

What is a Biosensor?

This is a biological sensor that has the following features:

  1. A biological recognition component (selectivity).
  2. A supporting structure in intimate contact with a biological component.

Biosensors are typically miniature and include monitoring of blood gas and biochemical concentrations additionally, physical … Read More

The Principle of Measurement of pH

A pH meter is an instrument that determines the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions.

The measurement of pH is achieved by utilizing a glass electrode that generates an electric potential when solutions of differing pH are placed on the … Read More
