Biosensors can measure compounds present in the environment, chemical processes, food and human body at low cost if compared with traditional analytical techniques. This book covers a wide range of aspects and issues related to biosensor technology, bringing together researchers from 16 different countries. The book consists of 24 chapters written by 76 authors and divided in three sections: Biosensors Technology and Materials, Biosensors for Health and Biosensors for Environment and Biosecurity UR - https://www.intechopen.com/books/biosensors-for-health-environment-and-biosecurity UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42295 ER -
