Abstract

A biosensor can be defined as a device incorporating biological material connected to or integrated with a transducer. The specificity and sensitivity of the biological system is complemented by the transducer, which electronically measures and computes the signal. Many possible biological elements can be combined with various transducers to construct the biosensor. Some of the more important biological elements and transducers that have been used are listed. It is the purpose of this report to summarize the current status of each of the most commonly used biosensor transducer approachs and to project the future of biosensor technology.
