Chemical Sensors and Biosensors

Chemical Sensors and Biosensors: Electronic design and practical implementation serves as a comprehensive guide for using chemical sensors and biosensors, covering both foundational concepts and practical applications across various scientific disciplines to outline the development of chemical sensors. Section I, Fundamentals, explains sensor working principles, including key elements such as sensitivity, resolution, LOD, selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility, along with calibration procedures. This section also outlines electronic interfaces needed for optimal sensor performance based on the theoretical knowledge established in the earlier sections. Section II, Practical Implementation, introduces application driven design and conceptual models for sensor development, including troubleshooting and common solutions across various sensors and their myriad applications. The final section discusses the future of sensors and sensing technologies and provides a tutorial to provide step-by-step guidance on understanding various methods and procedures associated with chemical sensor development and design. Chemical Sensors and Biosensors will be an invaluable resource for post graduate students and researchers both in academia and industry working with any kind of chemical sensor technology. Additionally, this book will be useful for engineers, physicists, chemists, and technical personnel and postgraduate students engaged in precision measurements with advanced instruments. This book will also be a helpful guide to electrochemists and other chemistry and biochemistry professionals interested in developing sensing platforms. Certain chapters could also be applicable to multiple other fields, owing to the interdisciplinary applications of sensors, such as biomedicine, agri-food industries, environmental monitoring, remote-sensing, sustainability research.
