Sensors
Of late there is
a need for reliable, sensitive, and precise analytical sensors for uses
in medicine, industry and in monitoring environmental processess.
Immunochemical methods afford high selectivity and when coupled to sensitive
measurement systems such as voltammetric techniques a superiour sensing
device is achieved.
One route to
such devices is the use of biological material/ polymer composites.
Essentially a polymeric material acts as a resevoir of a biological material
while serving as a transducer simultaneously. The general schematic
of such a material is shown below.
