Product Description

The use of biosensors is accelerating at an enormous rate. Increasingly robust and rapid sensors are being developed for the detection of a wide range of biological molecules and chemicals within the environment. Biosensors: Methods Express is a practical guide to all the major classes of electrical and mechanical biosensors in current use. Every chapter discusses the merits and limitations of potential approaches and then provides selected tried-and-tested protocols, with full guidance to ensure success. This book is one which will benefit all researchers who use, or seek to use, biosensors in their research. Contents: Introduction (Paul Millner); 1. Basic electrochemistry and data analysis (Andrew Nelson); 2. Kinetics of electron transfer between sensor and transducer (Elena Dominguez); 3. Pyrrole layers and other electrogenerated polymers (Serge Cosnier); 4. Self-assembled monolayers for biosensing (Claude Martelet); 5. Protein immobilisation and affinity procedures (Paul Millner); 6. Printed biosensor electrodes: screen print, inkjet and other methodologies (Jean-Louis Marty); 7. Analysis of biosensor surfaces on the nanoscale (Joseph Wang); 8. Amperometric and potentiometric enzyme-based sensors (Seamus Higson); 9. Conductimetric and impedimetric biosensors and immunosensors (Mamantos Prodromidis); 10. Whole cell-based biosensors (Neil Pasco); List of suppliers; Index.
