Transducers: Theory and Applications
摘要
Biosensors couple an active bioreceptor with a signal transducer and an electronic amplifier. They utilize biological systems at various levels of integration to specifically recognize analytes. Beyond the biorecognition element, the transducer plays a key role by converting the physicochemical changes induced by the biorecognition reaction into a measurable signal—such as variations in voltage, current, temperature, or optical properties—which is ultimately transformed into a digital output for processing.
