Biosensors and biodetection: methods and protocols v. 2 Electrochemical and mechanical detectors, lateral flow and ligands for biosensors

Biosensors combine biological recognition elements and signal conversion elements into a biodetection system. They have been developed for a wide variety of biodetection applications and the primary advantages over traditional detection methods are increased speed and ease of use. In ‘Biosensors and Biodetection’: Methods and Protocols, leading experts describe the major technologies inthe field in extensive technical detail, allowing readers both to understand the technology and to construct similar devices. Volume 2: Electrochemical andMechanical Detectors, Lateral Flow and Ligands for Biosensors focuses on direct measurement sensors, indirect methods, ligands, and related technologies, including methods involving electrochemical dectors, recognition ligands, antibodies, aptamers, and peptides, amongst many other subjects Unique, one-of-a-kind laboratory manual for detailed, standardized protocols on biosensors or lab-on-a-chip technology Describes basic types and the basic elements of biosensors from an experimental point of view Provides multiple experimental approaches to enable readers to choose an appropriate design and to combine elements from different designs INDICE: From the contents A Set of Piezoelectric Biosensors Using Cholinesterases.- Piezoelectric Biosensors for Aptamer–Protein Interaction.- Piezoelectric Quartz Crystal Resonators Appliedfor Immunosensing and Affinity Interaction Studies.- Biosensors Based on Cantilevers.- Piezoelectric-Excited Millimeter-Sized Cantilever (PEMC) Biosensors.- Preparation of Screen-Printed Electrochemical Immunosensors for Estradiol, and Their Application in Biological Fluids.- Electrochemical DNA Biosensors: Protocols for Intercalator-based Detection of Hybridization in Solution and at the Surface.- Electrochemical Biosensor Technology: Application to Pesticide Detection.- Electrochemical Detection of DNA Hybridization Using Micro and Nanoparticles.- Electrochemical Immunosensing Using Micro and Nanoparticles.- Methods for the Preparation of ElectrochemicalComposite Biosensors Based on Gold Nanoparticles.- Immunochromatographic Lateral Flow Strip Tests.
