Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Modelling and theory. 3. Fabrication of biosensors. 4. Biosensors in drug discovery. 5. Nanobiosensors. 6. Binding of analyte with different biosensor surfaces. 7. Fractal analysis. 8. Medical applications of biosensors. 9. Toxins and pollutants detection on biosensor surfaces. Index.

The book on biosensor operates for longer periods unlike an affinity-based sensor, which should be replaced after detection action. The books explains about the long-term stability of the system and steadiness, immobilization method and surface functionalization. The book addresses the neglected areas of analyte-receptor binding and dissociation kinetics occurring on biosensor surfaces. Topics are covered in a comprehensive fashion, with homogeneous presentation for the benefit of the reader. The contributors address the economic aspects of biosensors and incorporate coverage of biosensor fabrication and nanobiosensors, among other topics. The comments, comparison, and discussion presented provides a better perspective of where the field of biosensors in heading. (jacket)
