This book equips students with a thorough understanding of various types of sensors and
biosensors that can be used for chemical biological and biomedical applications including
but not limited to temperature sensors strain sensor light sensors spectrophotometric
sensors pulse oximeter optical fiber probes fluorescence sensors pH sensor ion-selective
electrodes piezoelectric sensors glucose sensors DNA and immunosensors lab-on-a-chip
biosensors paper-based lab-on-a-chip biosensors and microcontroller-based sensors. The author
treats the study of biosensors with an applications-based approach including over 15 extensive
hands-on labs given at the end of each chapter. The material is presented using a
building-block approach beginning with the fundamentals of sensor design and temperature
sensors and ending with more complicated biosensors.New to this second edition are sections on
op-amp filters pulse oximetry meat quality monitoring advanced fluorescent dyes
autofluorescence various fluorescence detection methods fluoride ion-selective electrode
advanced glucose sensing methods including continuous glucose monitoring paper-based
lab-on-a-chip etc. A new chapter on nano-biosensors and an appendix on microcontrollers make
this textbook ideal for undergraduate engineering students studying biosensors. It can also
serve as a hands-on guide for scientists and engineers working in the sensor or biosensor
industries.
