BT 6253 - Biosensors

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

Discussion of various biosensors, which consist of bio-recognition systems, typically enzymes or binding proteins such as antibodies, immobilized onto the surface of physico-chemical transducers. Immuno-sensors, which use antibodies as their bio-recognition system, are also discussed. Other biorecognition systems discussed are nucleic acids, bacteria, and whole tissues of higher organisms. Specific interactions between the target analyte and the complementary biorecognition layer that undergoes a physicochemical change is ultimately detected and measured by the transducer. Various transducers, which can take many forms depending upon the parameters being measured electrochemical, optical, mass and thermal changes are also part of the course. Prerequisite: Adviser's approval.
