BIOSENSOR TECHNOLOGY

The thesis here is done to develop an understanding of biosensors in general and then appreciate the construction of antibody sensors which are a boon to the medical industry to detect pathogens in the body much earlier than any known conventional pathology – lab test. This device can ultimately save lives because of the quick diagnosis that medical practitioners can provide to their patients. Moreover an antibody sensor can detect even traces of an antibody in a sample and thereby provide very accurate analytical data.

A Brief Introduction: Biosensors were originally developed to meet the requirements of the medical industry. For example, doctors wanted to know the blood – sugar levels of their patients in the shortest possible time with sufficient accuracy to enable a wise diagnosis. Biosensors are basically measuring instruments that can detect the presence of certain biomolecules and measure the quantity of that substance with ...
