A type of biomolecular probe that measures the presence or concentration of biological molecules, biological structures, etc., by translating a biochemical interaction at the probe surface into a quantifiable physical signal such as light or electric pulse. biospecimen - Sample taken from a patient such as blood, tissue, urine, or sputum.
A device that uses a biological element, such as an immobilized enzyme or cell, as a sensor.
A device that uses specific biochemical reactions mediated by isolated enzymes, immunosystems, tissues, organelles or whole cells to detect chemical compounds, usually by electrical, thermal or optical signals.
Device in which recognition systems of biological chemicals are coupled to microelectronics to allow the low-level detection of substances such as proteins etc. in body fluids or pollutants in water.
a device that detects, records, and transmits information regarding a physiological change or process.
an analytical device, containing biologically active material (i.e. enzyme, antibody receptor etc.) introduced into a receptor part (membrane), contacting with an appropriate transducer element to detect (selectively and reversibly) the concentration of chemical compound in the sample.
a biological element such as an enzyme, antibody, nucleic acid (or even a whole cell) that can detect a particular chemical or biochemical species
a device having a biological sensing element integrated within a transducer, where the aim is to produce an electronic signal that is proportional to the concentration of a specific chemical
a device in which a bioactive layer lies in direct contact with a transducer whose responses to change in the bioactive layer generate eloctronic signals for interpretation
a device that can make accurate measurements of biological samples and bio-chemicals at a low concentration
a device that converts a biological sensing interaction to a device called a transducer
a device that translates biological variables such as electric potentials, movement and chemical concentrations into electrical signals
a device that uses biological recognition properties for the selective analysis of various analytes or biomolecules
a device which detects the presence of antibodies or oligonucleotides (short DNA sequences)
a device which translates biological variables such as electric potentials, movement, chemical concentrations, etc
an analytical device based on the integration between a biological element immobilised on a transducer surface
an analytical tool consisting of biologically active material used in close conjunction with a device that will convert a biochemical signal into a quantifiable electrical signal
a portable device that uses living organisms, such as microbes, or parts and products of living organisms, such as enzymes, tissues, and anitbodies, to produce reactions to specific chemical contaminants
a suitable, cost-effective device that can sense and transmit information about bacterial biofilms
An electronic device that uses biological molecules to detect low levels of substances like proteins in the body or pollutants in water.
A device used for detecting chemical or physical signals that provide information about specific biological activities such as blood pressure or heart monitors.
Analytical device comprising a biological recognition element (e.g. enzyme, receptor, DNA, antibody, or microorganism) in intimate contact with an electrochemical, optical, thermal, or acoustic signal transducer that together permit analyses of chemical properties or quantities. Shows potential development in some areas, including environmental monitoring.
Device in which powerful recognition systems of biological chemicals (enzymes, antibodies) are coupled to microelectronics to enable low-level detection of substances such as sugars and proteins in body fluids, pollutants in water and gases in air.
A device that uses living organisms, such as enzymes, tissues, microbes, and antibodies, to produce reactions, which are then analyzed to detect the presence of a chemical or chemical reaction.
A device that uses an immobilized agent (such as an enzyme, antibiotic, organelle or whole cell) to detect or measure a chemical compound. A reaction between the immobilized agent and the molecule being analysed is transduced into an electric signal.
Device which provides a measurement of a biologically related substance referred to as a analyte.
A sensor used to detect a biological substance (for example: bacteria, blood gases, or hormones). Biosensors often make use of sensors that are themselves made of biological materials or of materials that are derived from or mimic biological materials.
A system or device that detects a chemical or chemicals in a biological material.
Also known as a lab-on-chip. A biomolecular probe that detects and/or measures the presence or concentration of chemicals in a biological material.
A biosensor is a device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector component.
