Download or read book Nanoscale Surface Modification for Enhanced Biosensing written by Guigen Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a comprehensive overview of electrochemical-based biosensors and their crucial components. Practical examples are given throughout the text to illustrate how the performance of electrochemical-based biosensors can be improved by nanoscale surface modification and how an optimal design can be achieved. All essential aspects of biosensors are considered, including electrode functionalization, efficiency of the mass transport of reactive species, and long term durability and functionality of the sensor. This book also: · Explains how the performance of an electrochemical-based biosensor can be improved by nanoscale surface modification · Gives readers the tools to evaluate and improve the performance of a biosensor with a multidisciplinary approach that considers electrical, electrostatic, electrochemical, chemical, and biochemical events · Links the performance of a sensor to the various governing physical and chemical principles so readers can fully understand how a biosensor with nanoscale modified electrode surface functions.
