Electrochemical Biosensors

This is an excellent book on modern electrochemical biosensors, edited by Professor Cosnier and written by leading international experts. It covers state-of-the-art topics of this important field in a clear and timely manner. -Joseph Wang, UC San Diego, USA This book covers, in 13 well-illustrated chapters, the potential of electrochemical methods intimately combined with a biological component for the assay of various analytes of biological and environmental interest. Particular attention is devoted to the description of electrochemical microtools in close contact with a biological cell for exocytosis monitoring and to the use of nanomaterials in the electrochemical biosensor architecture for signal improvement. Interestingly, one chapter describes the concept and design of self-powered biosensors derived from biofuel cells. Each topic is reviewed by experts very active in the field. This timely book is well suited for providing a good overview of current research trends devoted to electrochemical biosensors. -Jean-Michel Kauffmann, Editor-in-Chief, Talanta, Free University of Brussels, Belgium Written by leading international experts in different fields of electrochemical transduction for biological phenomena and biosensors, this timely book is well suited for graduate students and scientists, providing a good overview of current research trends and perspectives in the area. -J.
