Biosensor Applications

In recent years, under the continuous development of biological sciences, information sciences, and materials sciences, biosensor technology has also developed rapidly and is widely used in many fields such as fermentation technology, environmental monitoring, food engineering, clinical medicine, military, and military medicine. Biosensors have also evolved from years ago using enzyme electrodes to using microbial electrodes. In addition, optical fiber biosensors, DNA biosensors, etc. have also been gradually developed and have received attention.

Biosensors are currently used in many fields. For example, it is used in the fermentation industry for the determination of raw materials and metabolites, the determination of the total number of microbial cells, and the identification of metabolic assays. It has also been widely used in the aquaculture and wastewater treatment fields. Microbiological sensors can be used to determine the content of nonyl-phenol etoxylate (NP-80E) in surface water to determine the detection of molecular surfactants in contaminated surface water. . In addition, biosensors can also be used to detect the concentration and bioavailability of heavy metal ions in sewage.

In addition, biosensors can also detect toxic substances such as neurotoxins produced by phytoplankton and jellyfish organisms. The use of DNA biosensors can measure cryptospores and other water-borne pathogens in water samples. In clinical medicine, military and military medicine, there are also biosensors.
