With applications ranging from medical diagnostics to environmental
monitoring, molecular sensors (also known as biosensors, chemical
sensors, or chemosensors), along with emerging nanotechnologies
offer not only valuable tools but also unlimited possibilities for
engineers and scientists to explore the world. New generation of
functional microsystems can be designed to provide a variety of
small scale sensing, imaging and manipulation techniques to the
fundamental building blocks of materials. This book provides
comprehensive coverage of the current and emerging technologies of
molecular sensing, explaining the principles of molecular sensor
design and assessing the sensor types currently available. Having
explained the basic sensor structures and sensing principles, the
authors proceed to explain the role of nano/micro fabrication
techniques in molecular sensors, including MEMS, BioMEMS, MicroTAS
among others. The miniaturization of versatile molecular sensors
opens up a new design paradigm and a range of novel
biotechnologies, which is illustrated through case studies of
groundbreaking applications in the life sciences and elsewhere. As
well as the techniques and devices themselves, the authors also
cover the critical issues of implantability, biocompatibility and
the regulatory framework.
The book is aimed at a broad audience of engineering professionals,
life scientists and students working in the multidisciplinary area
of biomedical engineering. It explains essential principles of
electrical, chemical, optical and mechanical engineering as well as
biomedical science, intended for readers with a variety of
scientific backgrounds. In addition, it will be valuable for
medical professionals and researchers. An online tutorial developed
by the authors provides learning reinforcement for students and
professionals alike.
Reviews of state-of-the-art molecular sensors and
nanotechnologies Explains principles of sensors and fundamental
theories with homework problems at the end of each chapter to
facilitate learning Demystifies the vertical integration from
nanomaterials to devices design Covers practical applications the
recent progress in state-of-the-art sensor technologies. Includes
case studies of important commercial products Covers the critical
issues of implantability, biocompatibility and the regulatory
framework "
