1. Biochemical sensors combine biology, chemicals, and sensors to study chemical substances and vital processes in living organisms.
2. Biosensors convert biological responses into electrical signals and can be used to monitor things like electrolyte concentration, pH, and specific proteins in small samples.
3. They are typically constructed using enzyme-based biochemical reactions connected to ion-selective field-effect transistors or chemically-sensitive field-effect transistors for detection and can take the form of microreactors with immobilized enzymes.
