Biochemical Components Used in Biosensor Assemblies

Abstract

Over the past years, biosensor research has revolutionized clinical diagnostics, especially in diabetes management, and has had a significant impact on laboratory research. As was shown in Chap. 1, this was due to the extremely high importance of biochemical components that determine both the interpretation of the signal and the possibility to specifically detect a variety of the species, including metabolites, drug residues, toxic hazards, proteins, etc. It should be mentioned that from the very beginning, the development of biosensors has been mainly concentrated in the groups of biologists and medical staff who are involved in the development of medical equipment or investigation of molecular backgrounds of human health.
