Biosensors for the Detection of Waterborne Pathogens
Category: Environmental Microbiology | Technology
from Sen Xu and Raj Mutharasan in Environmental Microbiology: Current Technology and Water Applications
The detection of waterborne pathogens and toxins by biosensor-based methods are becoming increasingly important. Optical, electrochemical and electromechanical sensors are available and surface chemistries are being used for immobilizing biorecognition molecules on sensor surfaces. Topics that are important include representative sensor responses, limit of detections (LOD) and time to results (TTR).
