Of all the recent discoveries in biotechnology, that of biosensor
is one of those which has seen an exponential expansion over the
last few years. This evolution corresponds with the increasing need
for measuring devices that can follow continuously changing
biological processes. Biosensors can meet this need provided that
their signals include all the information necessary for an
understanding of the process, especially concerning the nature and
concentration of the species present in the sample medium. It is
well known that sensors form the basis of all instrumental analysis
systems, but they also represent the limiting factors of such
systems. In this book, we restrict ourselves to the description and
study of sensors, leaving aside the different aspects of signal and
data treatment. We believe, however, that it is important to stress
the multifaceted character of biosensors, and the applications and
economic factors which follow. Biosensor construction is
essentially based on the immobilization of a bioreceptor on the
corresponding transducer. The reader will find that there are a
large variety of techniques for immobilizing enzymes, cofactors and
mediators, and even microorganisms, immunoagents, e now
commercially available. Other types of tissues, and organelles. A
large part of this book is devoted to enzyme biosensors are
discussed, with regard to both the principles of their sensors,
which is hardly surprising considering that they have been
operation, and their construction.
