BIOSENSORS By: Dan Lander Haru Yamamoto Sabiha Hasan
Outline of Presentation • Introduction • Background Information • Applications • Examples • Conclusion
Introduction • A biosensor can basically be defined as a device that detects, records, and transmits information regarding a physiological change or the presence of various chemical or biological materials in the environment. • A more technical elaboration of a biosensor will be further discussed in subsequent slides.
Background Information • More specifically a biosensor is made up of a biological component such as bacterium integrated with an electrical component to yield a measurable signal. • Five major parts that make up most biosensors include: a biological sensor, transducer, signal conditioner, data processor and signal generator.
Background Continued… • Biological Sensor: surveys the biological concentrations in the environment. • Transducer: converts the input biological concentration sampled into electrical energy. • Signal Conditioner: checks whether an output signal should be generated based on the input sampled.
Background Continued… • Data Processor: extracts data about the input concentration sampled. • Signal Generator: generates the appropriate output signal based on the input sampled. • These terms outline the basic procedures occurring inside of a biosensor.
Applications • Three general important applications of biosensors that we will discuss are: • 1.) Bio-Hazard detection • 2.) Chemical level detection • 3.) Health Abnormality detection
Applications • Bio-Hazard Detection • Two forms of Biosensors • A.) Survival or Death Detection • Biological substance in the biosensor dies in the presence of a hazardous material. • B.) Measured concentration level Detection • Biological substance in the biosensor reacts to a certain threshold concentration level.

Applications • Chemical Level Detection • Four specific types of Biosensors • A.) Chlorine Level Detection • Detects whether certain types of water such as drinking water have acceptable chlorine levels. • B.) Pesticide Level Detection • Detects whether certain levels of pesticides in soils and foods are harmful.
Applications • C.) Glucose Level Detection • Detects and monitors blood glucose levels for clinical purposes such as in diabetes patients. • D.) Alcohol Level Detection • Detects and analyzes blood alcohol concentration levels in people.
Example: Glucose Sensor 1. Glucose in a solution is allowed to pass through the selective membrane. 2. Glucose will be oxidized to gluconic acid by glucose oxidase in the biosensor, which in turn becomes reduced. 3. Reduced glucose oxidase will react with O2forming H2O2. 4. H2O2 will produce an electronic signal that can be detected by the transducer.
Applications • Health Abnormality Detection • Two types of Biosensors • A.) Cancer Detection of the Esophagus • Detects whether a tumor in the esophagus is benign or cancerous using different wavelengths of light. • B.) Status Detection of Diabetes • Detects changes in eye protein concentration using fluorescent light to measure and monitor diabetic levels in patients.
Optical Biopsy Sensor Developed at the Thompson Cancer Survival Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. Used for detecting cancerous cells in the lining of the esophagus. Works by measuring the wavelength of light emitted by cells in the esophagus. Cancerous cells will emit different wavelengths from that of normal cells. Below is a picture of this biosensor at work. Using this sensor prevents the need for surgically removing any cancer of the esophagus. Examples of this Application
Conclusions • Biosensors are continuing to transform our everyday lives by adding more convenience to the way we live. • Biosensors will soon revolutionize the biomedical and technical world. • Biosensors are replacing many of today’s sensitive and complex operations. • Biosensors are the wave of the future.
