Borman, S

One of the most significant applications of analytical chemistry involves its use in the determination of biologically important analytes. In recent years, considerable research in analytical biochemistry has centered on the development of small, portable, and (in some cases) disposable monitoring devices that are collectively referred to as biosensors. Biosensors are based on a number of different operating principles, including amperometric and potentiometric electrochemistry, fiber optics, and piezoelectricity or microacoustics. In this second of a two-part FOCUS, optical and piezoelectric sensors are discussed.
