Aim: • Understandtheparts of biosensors • Howtheywork • To be abletodiscriminatebiosensorsaccordingtotheirquality • To be abletodesignnewbiosensors • To be abletodiscussthepapersaboutbiosensors • To be abletoimprovebiosensors • To be abletoclassifyresults of sensors.
Contents • Introduction to Sensors • Transduction Elements • Sensing Elements • Performance Factors • Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors • Photometric Applications • Mass-Sensitive and Thermal Sensors • Specific Applications
Book • “CHEMICAL SENSORS AND BIOSENSORS”
Sensor? • A device or organ • To detects certain external stimuli and responds in a distinctive manner
Basic sensors • An acid turns blue litmus paper red and a base turns red litmus paper blue
Types • Physical sensors: measure • Distance • Mas • Temperature • Pressure • Chemical sensors: measure • Chemical substrances by chemical or physical response • Biosensors: measure • Chemical substrances by using a biological sensing element. • All of them connected to a transducer visible response occurs
Chemical Sensors and biosensors detect chemicals called analyte. • If analyte is a biomolecule, the device can be called biosensor Recognation element
Types of transducer • Electrochemical biosensor: mostly used • Potentiometric: measure potential • Voltammetric : an increasing (decreasing) potential is applied to the cell until Ox. (re.) of the substrance to be analysed occure and a sharp rise (fall) in the current to give a peak. • Conductometric • FET based • Optical • Piezo electric • Thermal
Performance factors • Selectivity • Sensitivity • Accuracy • Response time • Recovery time • Lifetime
Biosensor: BiorecognationUnit (Sensing Element; biologicdetectionunit)
SensingElements • Itis concerned with various ways in which a sensor can recognizean analyte. • specific for that analyte alone, • Selective ;responding to the required analytemore than to other species. Types of SensingElements • İonic (chemicalsensors) • Molecular (chemical sensor andbiosensor) • Biological (biosensor)
A- IonicRecognation: Ion-SelectiveElectrodes • Possibleto be used in biosensors. • Example: urea ammonia • Theyare based on the principle of the emf of a concentration cell. • A potentiometric device in which the change in emf is proportional to the logarithmof the analyte concentration. • The selectivity by the membraneseparatingthe analyte solution from the internal reference solution. 0.0 0.5
Interferences • Sensorsrespondto one ion more than to others, although there is often a small response tounwanted ions. This is known as interference. • For example, • a fluoride ISEresponds to hydroxide at one tenth of the response level (to fluoride) for equalconcentrations of the ions. • The level of interference is measured by the selectivitycoefficient • kij=the selectivity coefficient. 0.0 0.5 0.1 ISAB (ionic-strengthadjustmentbuffer): [OH] declinedto 10-9M pOH:9 . it is lowerthandetection limit for OH
A- IonicRecognation: ConductingDevices • ionsconductorforelectreicty • quantitymeasurement • resistance (1/conductivity) • conductancedepends on…..; • degree of ionization (storngorweak) • charge of ion • number of ions • mobility of ions (relatedto size, smallfastermoreconductive) • conductivity not usedalone • ionchromography (extensivily)

An agonist often mimics the action of a naturally occurring substance.An agonist produces an action. An antagonist blocks an action of an agonist. The response may be either … • ion-channel opening, • production of second messenger systems, or • activation of enzymes.

metal (such as silver) is placed in a solution containing ions (such as silver ions), there is a charge separation across the boundary betweenthe metal and the solution. an electronpressure, usuallytermed a porential. It cannot be measured directly, and requires two such electrode-electrolyte combinations. Each of these is called a half-cell.Such a combination is called an electrochemical cell
