Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application
of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological
materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and ?-TAS.
Biosensors are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material (e.g. tissue, microorganisms, organelles, cell
receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, natural products etc.), a biologically derived material (e.g. recombinant antibodies,
engineered proteins, aptamers etc) or a biomimic (e.g. synthetic receptors, biomimetic catalysts, combinatorial ligands, imprinted polymers
etc) intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical,
thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional
to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured
to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors,
organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine,
biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular
and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included
within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular
imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices.
The emerging field of
Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel
cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is
the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics.
While endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope
of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts,
underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of
biosensors and bioelectronics.
