Micro-and Nanoelectromechanical Biosensors

Download or read book Micro-and Nanoelectromechanical Biosensors written by Liviu Nicu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-01-17 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books dedicated to the issues of bio-sensing are organized by the well-known scheme of a biosensor. In this book, the authors have deliberately decided to break away from the conventional way of treating biosensing research by uniquely addressing biomolecule immobilization methods on a solid surface, fluidics issues and biosensing-related transduction techniques, rather than focusing simply on the biosensor. The aim is to provide a contemporary snapshot of the biosensing landscape without neglecting the seminal references or products where needed, following the downscaling (from the micro- to the nanoscale) of biosensors and their respective best known applications. To conclude, a brief overview of the most popularized nanodevices applied to biology is given, before comparing biosensor criteria in terms of targeted applications.
