Talk Title: Basic Principles and Applications of BioSensors

Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biological recognition element with an appropriate transducer to detect and measure specific bioanalytes in a variety of applications. The basic principles of biosensors revolve around their ability to translate a biological response into a measurable signal, typically electrical, optical, magnetic or thermal. Key components include the bioreceptor such as enzymes, aptamers, antibodies, DNK or similar, which interacts with the target analyte, and the transducer, which converts this interaction into a quantifiable output. Biosensors are widely applied in fields such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, and industrial process control due to their high sensitivity, specificity, and rapid response times. Advances in nanotechnology and materials science continue to enhance their capabilities, making biosensors increasingly valuable tools in both research and commercial applications.
