What are the Key Components of Electrochemical Biosensors?
The key components of electrochemical biosensors include:
Bioreceptor: The biological element that interacts with the target molecule, such as enzymes, antibodies, or nucleic acids. Transducer: Converts the biological response into an electrical signal. In electrochemical biosensors, this is usually an electrode. Electrolyte: A medium that facilitates the movement of ions between the bioreceptor and transducer. Signal Processor: Amplifies and processes the electrical signal for display or further analysis.
