What is a Biosensor?“Biosensor” once refered to any device which responds to chemical
species in biological samples or using biological components.

Current Definition for Biosensors:
A sensor that integrates a biological element with a physiochemical transducer to produce an electronic signal proportional to a single analyte
which is then conveyed to a detector.

2ND Component: Physiochemical Transducer
Acts as an interface, measuring the physical change that occurs with the reaction at the bioreceptor then transforming that
energy into measurable electrical output.

3RD Component: Detector
Signals from the transducer are passed to a microprocessor where they are amplified and analyzed.
The data is then converted to concentration units and transferred to a display or/and data storage device.

Principles of Detection
measures change in mass
measures change in electric distribution
measures change in light intensity
measures change in heat

Principles of DetectionPiezo-Electric Biosensors
The change in frequency is proportional to the mass of absorbed material.
Some piezo-electric devices utilize crystals, such as quartz, which vibrate under the influence of
an electric field. The frequency of this oscillation
depends on their thickness and cut.
electronics.howstuffworks.com Others use gold to detect the specific angle at which electron waves (surface plasmons) are emitted when the substance is exposed
to laser light.

Principles of DetectionElectrochemical Biosensors
•Amperometric for applied current: Movement of e- in redox
reactions detected when a potential is applied between two
electrodes.
•Potentiometric for voltage: Change in distribution of charge is
detected using ion-selective electrodes, such as pH-meters.
•Conductimetric for impedance

Principles of Detection
Optical Biosensors
•Colorimetric for color: Measure change in light adsorption as reactants are converted to products.
•Photometric for light intensity: Photon output for a luminescent or fluorescent process can be detected with photomultiplier tubes or photodiode systems. www.manimo.it/Prodotti/

Principles of DetectionCalorimetric Biosensors
If the enzyme catalyzed reaction is exothermic, two thermistors may be used to measure the difference in
resistance between reactant and product and, hence, the analyte concentration.

to a particular chemical and modulate the nanotube's optical properties."
