Biosensors: Essentials

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Chemistry ((LNC,volume 84))

Abstract

Electrochemical biosensors utilize measurement technologies widely represented in most (bio)chemical laboratories and discussed in most monographs and student books. Thus, the potentiometric biosensors are compatible with pH- and ionometers and voltammetric (amperometric) biosensors with oximeters and voltammographs.
