ANALYTE
An analyte is a compound whose concentration is to be determined by the
biosensor.
The nature of interaction between the analyte and the biological material
used, the biosensor may be of two types
CATALYTIC BIOSENSOR.
AFFINITY BIOSENSOR.
TRANSDUCER OR DETECTOR
ELEMENT
Transducer detects & measures this change and converts it into an
electrical signal.
This signal is necessarily very small, and is amplified by an amplifier
before it is fed into the microprocessor.
The signal is then processed and interpreted.
WORKING OF A BIOSENSOR

CALORIMETRIC BIOSENSORS
Schematic diagram of a calorimetric
biosensor. The sample stream (a) passes
through the outer insulated box (b) to
the heat exchanger (c) within an
aluminium block (d). From there, it flows
past the reference thermistor (e) and into
the packed bed bioreactor containing the
biocatalyst, where the reaction occurs. The
change in temperature is determined by
the thermistor (g) and the solution passed
to waste (h). External electronics (l)
determines the difference in the resistance,
and hence temperature, between the
thermistors.

POTENTIOMETRIC BIOSENSORS
Schematic diagram showing
an enzyme-based
potentiometric biosensor for
urea. A solution of the enzyme
urease is trapped between a
dialysis membrane and a gas
permeable membrane. Urea
diffuses across the dialysis
membrane and reacts with
urease, producing NH3 that
diffuses across the gas
permeable membrane. The
resulting change in the internal
solutions pH is measured with
the pH electrode.

Fluorescence detection:
Fluorescence is used as a nondestructive way of tracking for the
analysis of biological molecules
This is done using the fluorescent
emission at a specific frequency
