Introductory Chapter: Electrochemical Sensors Technology

This book describes a comprehensive overview of electro-chemical sensors and biosensors for the analyses, investigation, and monitoring of the most significant unsafe analytes in the ecological as well as environmental field in industry, in treatment plants, and in environmental research. The contributed chapters stretch the reader a comprehensive study, state-of-the-art picture of the field of electro-chemical sensors or biosensors appropriate to environmental analytes, from the theoretical principles of their design to their implementation, realization, and potential application. It covers the most recent techniques and nanocomposites/nanomaterials for the preparation, construction, validation, analyses, and design of electro-chemical sensors/biosensors for bio-analytical, clinical, and environmental applications-emphasizing the latest classes of selective, sensitive, robust, fast response, stable, electro-chemical sensors as well as electrochemical biosensors for in vivo/vitro diagnosis.
