This book gives a comprehensive overview of electrochemical-based biosensors and their crucial
components. Practical examples are given throughout the text to illustrate how the performance
of electrochemical-based biosensors can be improved by nanoscale surface modification and how
an optimal design can be achieved. All essential aspects of biosensors are considered
including electrode functionalization efficiency of the mass transport of reactive species
and long term durability and functionality of the sensor. This book also: · Explains how the
performance of an electrochemical-based biosensor can be improved by nanoscale surface
modification · Gives readers the tools to evaluate and improve the performance of a biosensor
with a multidisciplinary approach that considers electrical electrostatic electrochemical
chemical and biochemical events · Links the performance of a sensor to the various governing
physical and chemical principles so readers can fully understand how a biosensor with nanoscale
modified electrode surface functions.
