Biosensor
A biosensor is a device that detects biological substances and converts their presence into a measurable signal. It typically consists of a biological element, such as an enzyme or antibody, that interacts with the target substance, and a transducer that converts this interaction into an electrical signal. Biosensors are widely used in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
These devices can quickly and accurately measure various analytes, including glucose levels in diabetes management or pathogens in food products. By providing real-time data, biosensors play a crucial role in improving health outcomes and ensuring safety in various industries.
