Emerging Biosensor for Pesticide Detection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Biosensors are considered interesting devices for pesticides monitoring. The peculiar characteristics of biosensors allow them to complement current screening and monitoring methods, especially when continuous, real-time, in situ monitoring is required. However, biosensors still faces to stability and detection sensitivity of the biomolecular recognition element. In the recent years, innovative catalytic biosensors have been proposed to solve this aspect. In this chapter, some of these innovative enzyme based biosensors will be reviewed.
