General Biology I
Biosensors are analytical devices that convert a biological response into an electrical signal, allowing for the detection and quantification of various substances in a sample. These devices often integrate biological components, like enzymes or antibodies, with a transducer to produce measurable signals that correlate with the presence of specific analytes. The ability to provide real-time data makes biosensors essential in fields like medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
congrats on reading the definition of biosensors. now let's actually learn it.
