Biosensors

Biosensors are used as analytical devices to a substance, usually with a physiochemical detection that is visible, but specifically using living organisms to initiate the detection. There are lots of applications of biosensors for instance in food testing and the medical field, such as glucose monitoring. Our lab predominantly develops colormetric or fluorescent biosensors.
