Biosensor Definition:
A device for the detection of a particular substance (an analyte) that combines a biological receptor with a physicochemical detector.
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Biosensor Notes:
Biosensors are analytical devices that are used to detect a chemical substance, which combines a biological component with a physiochemical detector. The sensitive biological element such as microorganisms, cell receptors, tissue, organelles, nucleic acids, enzymes, antibodies etc., is a biomimetic component that recognizes and binds with the analyte.
