Environmental Biosensors

The majority of reported biosensor research has been directed toward advancement of devices for clinical markets; anyhow, driven by a need for better methods for environmental surveillance, research into this technology is also amplifying to encompass environmental applications. Biosensors are biophysical devices are able to  detect the presence of peculiar substances e.g. sugars, proteins, hormones, pollutants and a variety of toxins in the environment. They are also competent of measuring the quantities of these specific substances in the environment.
