Novel Approaches in Biosensors and Rapid Diagnostic Assays

In the medical, food, and environmental fields there is a continuous demand for inexpensive and sensitive analytical devices that are reliable, rapid, capable of high-throughput screening, and have low cost per test unit. Small and portable biosensor devices are designed to fulfill most of these requirements, and can be used in laboratory and on-site field testing.
This volume discusses major issues in optical, acoustic and electrochemical-based biosensors, biochips, sensing recognition el...
