Introductory Chapter: The Prospective of Biosensing in Environmental Monitoring

Prospective Analytical Role of Sensors for Environmental Screening and Monitoring

“…In past few years estimation and detection of numerous pollutants in environment becomes analytically significant because of their extensive usage in ecosystems [19]. Specificity, sensitivity, cost-efficiency, reliability, and possibility of on-line usage are critical factors to design and construct sensor for environmental monitoring [150]. Most of the developed sensors for environmental monitoring do not compete with customary methods with regard to reproducibility or precision.…”

Current state-of-the-art diagnostics for Norovirus detection: Model approaches for point-of-care analysis

“…Functional bio-recognition elements are the key components, which define the affinity (low detection limit), specificity (low interference), dynamic range, response time and lifetime of the biosensing system. Although, currently most of the developed biosensor-based methods are not able to compete with traditional methods in terms of precision or reproducibility, they offer the opportunity of continuous on-site and real-time monitoring of a contamination and may provide timely information about potential contamination (Kivirand & Rinken 2019) (Fig. 1).…”
