Biosensors for medical applications
Seamus Higson
Comprising a series of in-depth monographs on specific areas, this book seeks to provide a wide-ranging overview of some of the most important and recent developments in the area of biosensors for medical applications. It is organized into two parts, with the first covering principles and transduction approaches and the second discussing applications.Part one begins with a consideration of electrochemical biosensors, then moves on to explore piezoelectric, nano-sized and impedance-based biosensors. The concluding chapter to this section offers a range of protocols to allow newcomers to the field access to some experimental protocols and practical demonstrations of the transduction principles that the previous four chapters covered.The remaining chapters focus on applications for biosensors in medicine and related fields, such as for DNA and other nucleic-acid based sensors, disease biomarker detection, cancer markers, drug testing and drug discovery, non-invasive measurements and wearable biosensors.
