Description
Optical Biosensors provides the most comprehensive analysis of optical biosensors and relevant technologies to date. It focuses
both on current state of the art technologies and new advances that will influence the future of optical biosensor development, including
several technological advances not yet greatly explored within this field.
The book is divided into two parts: The first part focuses
on present technology and here leaders in each field describe the underlying principles behind each technology. The authors then enumerate
the types of applications for which it has been tested, provide opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of the biosensor and
philosophize on future developments using that particular biosensor.
The second part deals with the science for future technology
developments including four different methods for producing new recognition elements (genetic engineering of proteins, chemical synthesis,
molecular imprinting and combinatorial selection of nucleotide-based receptors); two methods for immobilizing receptors on biosensors
(sol gels and semi-synthetic membranes); two methods for producing very bright signals (PEBBLES and quantum dots) and soft lithography
for surface patterning and microfluidics.
Audience
for science libraries; departments of Chemistry, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Bio(medical) Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Clinical Chemistry,
Analytical Chemistry and associations/industries that deal with medical diagnostics, bioengineering, environmental protection, biological
warfare defense, process monitoring, food and water safety and veterinary diagnostics.
