Biosensors are essential to an ever-expanding range of applications, including healthcare; drug design; detection of biological, chemical, and toxic agents; environmental monitoring; biotechnology; aviation; physics; oceanography; and the protection of civilian and engineering infrastructures. This book, like the previous five books on biosensors by this author (and one by the co-author), addresses the neglected areas of analyte-receptor binding and dissociation kinetics occurring on biosensor surfaces. Topics are covered in a comprehensive fashion, with homogeneous presentation for the benefit of the reader. The contributors address the economic aspects of biosensors and incorporate coverage of biosensor fabrication and nanobiosensors, among other topics. The comments, comparison, and discussion presented provides a better perspective of where the field of biosensors is heading.
"Biomarkers and Biosensors" offers thorough coverage of
biomarker/biosensor interaction, current research trends, and
future developments in applications of drug discovery. This book is
useful to researchers in this field as well as clinicians
interested in new developments in early detection and diagnosis of
disease or the mode of operation of biomarkers. "Biomarkers and
Biosensors" also emphasizes kinetics, and clearly delineates how
this influences the biomarker market.
A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces analyzes the kinetics of binding and dissociation of different analytes by different biosensor techniques, demonstrating, and then comparing each other. Emphasis is on newer instrumentation techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi), and classical techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and finally, DNA biosensors and nanobiosensors. In addition, the closing chapter includes discussion of biosensor economics.
Biosensors are finding increasing applications in different areas.
Over the last few years the areas where biosensors may be used
effectively has increased dramatically. This book like the previous
four books on analyte-receptor binding and dissociation kinetics by
this author addresses the often neglected area. The kinetics of
binding and dissociation in solution to appropriate receptors
immobilized on biosensor surfaces occurs under diffusional
limitations on structured surfaces. The receptors immobilized on
the biosensor surface contribute to the degree of heterogeneity on
the sensor chip surface.
The application of biosensors is expanding in different areas.
These are portable and convenient devices that permit the rapid,
accurate, and reliable detection of analytes of interest present
either in the atmosphere or in aqueous or in liquid phases. The
detection of glucose levels in blood for the effective management
of diabetes is one. Though different biosensors have been designed
for an increasing number of applications, the kinetics of binding
(and dissociation) of analytes by the receptors on the biosensor
surfaces has not been given enough attention in the open
literature. This is a very important area of investigation since it
significantly impacts biosensor performance parameters such as
stability, sensitivity, selectivity, response time, regenerability,
etc. Binding and Dissociation Kinetics for Different Biosensor
Applications Using Fractals addresses this critical need besides
helping to correct or demonstrate the need to modify the present
software available with commercial biosensors that determines the
kinetics of analyte-receptor reactions on biosensor surfaces.
Biosensors are portable and convenient devices that permit the
rapid and reliable analysis of substances. They are increasingly
used in healthcare, drug design, environmental monitoring and the
detection of biological, chemical, and toxic agents. Fractal
Binding and Dissociation Kinetics for Different Biosensor
Applications focuses on two areas of expanding biosensor
development that include (a) the detection of biological and
chemical pathogens in the atmosphere, and (b) biomedical
applications, especially in healthcare. The author provides
numerous examples of practical uses, particularly biomedical
applications and the detection of biological or chemical pathogens.
This book also contains valuable information dedicated to the
economics of biosensors. After reading this book, the reader will
gain invaluable insight into how biosensors work and how they may
be used more effectively.
This title brings to the attention of researchers in the industry,
and in academia, the application of fractals to help in modeling
the analyte/receptor binding and dissociation kinetics on biosensor
surfaces.
Biosensors are becoming increasingly important bioanalytical tools
in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, and other consumer
oriented industries. The technology, though well developed in
Europe, is slowly developing and has begun to generate interest in
the United States only over the past couple of years. Research is
now being directed toward the development of biosensors that are
versatile, economical, and simple to use.
This book covers the fundamentals of protein inactivation during
bioseparation and the effect on protein processing. Bioseparation
of Proteins is unique because it provides a background of the
bioseparation processes, and it is the first book available to
emphasize the influence of the different bioseparation processes on
protein inactivation.
