Features: Biosensors are a special type of sensor composed of biological molecular recognition elements and various physical and chemical transducers, used for the analysis and detection of various biological and chemical substances. Biosensors integrate biology, chemistry, physics, information science, and related technologies, and have developed into a highly active research field. This book systematically introduces the basic principles, types, characteristics, applications, research progress, and cutting-edge developments of biosensors, including the fundamental aspects and immobilization methods of biological molecular sensitive elements in biosensors, as well as biosensors based on various principles such as electrochemical, microthermoelectric, semiconductor, acoustic wave, optical, and surface plasmon resonance. Additionally, it elaborates on the applications of DNA, proteins, biochips, screen printing, molecular imprinting, nanotechnology, and other technologies in biosensors. The book is rich in content, highly systematic, and reflects the development history, classic achievements, and latest advancements in the field of biosensors, incorporating the author's many years of research results and insights. It is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and researchers in related fields of life sciences and biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and sensor technology at universities and research institutions.
