Answer:
- Biosensor is defined as a device that uses specific biochemical reactions mediated by isolated enzymes, immunosystems, tissues, organelles or whole cells to detect chemical compounds usually by electrical, thermal or optical signals.
- Biosensors are defined by IUPAC as integrated receptor–transducer devices, which are able to provide selective quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information using a biological recognition element .
- Biosensors consist of a biological recognition element, generally called the bioreceptor, the transducer component, and the electronic system (often combined with the transducer).
- Biosensors can be classified in terms of the bioreceptor or transducer type used.
- Research and development of biosensors is becoming the most extensively studied discipline because the easy, rapid, low-cost, highly sensitive, and highly selective biosensors contribute to advances in next-generation medicines such as individualized medicine and ultrasensitive point-of-care detection of markers for diseases.
