Summary

Focusing on the rapidly changing fields of modern biotechnology and advanced electronics, this reference text describes novel biotechnology-based electronic sensors, particularly those used for detection of very low levels of chemical and biological moieties. In contrast to traditional systems in which an instrument is used simply for observation, the bioinstrumentation described provides for direct assay and read-out information.
