A biosensor is an analytical tool that detects a biological response and converts it into an electrical signal. It consists of a biological recognition element, like an enzyme or antibody, connected to a transducer that detects the concentration of an analyte. Biosensors can detect molecules, proteins, toxins, and more. They are used for applications like medical diagnosis, food analysis, environmental monitoring, and more. Some examples are pregnancy tests and glucose monitors. Biosensors offer advantages like low cost, simplicity, and rapid response times.

- 2. What is a Biosensor?
- 3. Biosensors: are analytical tools for the analysis of bio-material samples to gain an understanding of their bio-composition, structure and function by converting a biological response into an electrical signal. The analytical devices composed of a biological recognition element directly interfaced to a signal transducer which together relate the concentration of an analyte (or group of related analytes) to a measurable response.

- 5. 3. Detection/Recognition (How do you specifically recognize the analyte?) 4. Signal (How do you know there was a detection) Biosensor
- 6. A biosensor can include, for example, an enzyme, an antibody, or a microorganism that in turn is connected to an electronic element A typical design of an enzyme modified electrochemical biosensor

- 10. * biosensors are being more useful and having more usage areas day by day and having more new markets such as security, military biodefense, environmental monitoring, and the process industry. * Biosensors are specific due to the immobilized system used in them * Rapid and continuous control is possible with biosensors * Response time is short (typically less than a minute) . *It help to fight cronic deseases and reduce the helth care cost. * These systems offer some advantages such as low cost, simple design or small dimensions. * Practical
- 11. Figure 1. Schematic diagram of a calorimetric biosensor. The sample stream (a) passes through the outer insulated box (b) to the heat exchanger (c) within an aluminium block (d). From there, it flows past the reference thermistor (e) and into the packed bed bioreactor (f, 1ml volume), containing the biocatalyst, where the reaction occurs. The change in temperature is determined by the thermistor (g) and the solution passed to waste (h). External electronics (l) determines the difference in the resistance, and hence temperature, between the thermistors.
- 12. A potentiometric biosensor can be defined as a device containing a biological sensing element connected to an electrochemical potential transducer. Potentiometric biosensors usually depend on a biochemical reaction . Figure 2. A simple potentiometric biosensor. membrane (a) surrounds the biocatalyst (b) next to the active glass membrane (c) of a pH (d). The electrical potential (e) is generated between the internal Ag/AgCl electrode (f) bathed in dilute HCl (g) and an external reference electrode (h).
- 13. The enzyme urease is immobilized at the surface of the ISE and catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to NH3 and CO2. The product ammonia is hydrolyzed to form NH4 . which is observed by the ISE. The signal generated by the NH4 + produced is related to the concentration of urea in the sample urease Urea 2NH3 + CO2
- 14. Overview: the reduction & Oxidation of certain chemical species when being under the power of electrical potential help to measure of special analytes. Principle: When provided with a constant potential , the analyt bound to the receptor with undergo an Oxidation Reduction Reaction , that can be quantified by measuring the electron exchange from working electrode ( Anode) to the counter electrode ( Cathode) . This electron exchange , or current is limited by the diffusion (spreading) of analyte through a selectively and absorbent membrane and various boundary- layer phenomena, will be relative to the concentration of the target analyte

- 17. A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena. example Motion sensors in various systems including home security lights, automatic doors
