Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biologically
sensitive element with a physical or chemical transducer to
selectively and quantitatively detect the presence of specific
compounds. Balancing basics, principles, and case studies,
Biosensors: Microelectrochemical Devices covers the theory and
applications of one class of biosensor-microelectrochemical
devices. The book clearly explains microelectronic techniques used
to produce these cheap, fast reacting, and disposable sensors with
the aid of helpful diagrams and tables. Researchers and
postgraduates active in the field of chemical sensors, analytical
chemistry, or microelectronics will find this an invaluable
reference.

The editors have asked me to write this foreword probably for two
reasons: First, I have spent 35 years trying to develop
radiolabeled compounds that would help diagnose and treat disease.
I, and the people from my laboratory, have been much involved with
developing Nan'I for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism
and well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Second, I was a participant
throughout the entire symposium upon which this book is based. Our
latest '311-labeled compound, l3lll metaiodobenzylguanidine, took
us 13 years to develop. It has succeeded in diagnosing and treating
adrenergic tumors '31 under circumstances where Na 1 would have
failed for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. I
therefore hope that more scientists will be attracted to this
field. This book is written by intelligent, experienced
investigators who are knowl edgeable. It is a must for anyone new
in the field. For the experienced, I would like to remind you that
I attended the entire symposium; the breadth and timeliness of the
update has helped us to redirect some of our current efforts into
more scientifically productive channels. William H. Beierwaltes,
M.D."
