Course Objective

The course focuses on the typical aspects of biosensors and its instrumentation. By the end of the course, the student should be able to define biosensors as analytical devices incorporating a biological material (eg. tissue, microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids etc), a biologically derived material or biomimic intimately associated with, integrated within a physiochemical transducer, or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric or magnetic

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Be able to describe the most common sensor principles
2   Be able to have a broad understanding of the applications of various sensors and transducers for various measurements
3   Gain an ability to design and developed biosensors for different applications
4   Be conversant in biosensor design and which parameters will influence biosensor performance
5   Be able to evaluate critically on new biosensor technologies presented in the literature
6   Be able to read critically review the literature in the area and apply knowledge gained from the course to analyse simple biosensing and transduction problems
7   Be able to compare critically different techniques with emphasis on sensitivity and selectivity.
