Biosensors

<p>Biosensors are analytical devices used for the detection of a chemical substance or analyte which combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. Detection and quantification are based on the measurement of the biological interactions. The biological element of a biosensor may consist of tissues microorganisms organelles cell receptors enzymes antibodies and nucleic acids. These devices have been shown to have a wide range of applications in a vast array of fields of research including environmental monitoring food analysis drug detection and health and clinical assessment and even security and safety. The current Special Issue Biosensors: 10th Anniversary Feature Papers addresses the existing knowledge gaps and aids the advancement of biosensing applications in the form of six peer-reviewed research and review papers detailing the most recent and innovative developments of biosensors.</p>
