Engineering Biosensors Kinetics and Design Applications

Analysis of the binding between an analyte and a receptor is a key step in the design of immunodiagnostic assays and biosensors. This book describes and makes more quantitative the binding kinetics between an analyte and a receptor using a technique based on fractals. Actual examples from the existing literature are provided to illustrate the simplicity and the wide applicability of the technique. A better understanding of the binding interactions on the biosensor surface will greatly assist in the design as well as in the improvement of existing biosensors. In addition, the book deals with the economics of the biosensor market, and its past, present, and future trends. KEY FEATURES: · Describes a simple, rapid, and robust technique for evaluating binding kinetics in biosensors · Includes a large number of examples illustrating the mathematical techniques · Contains difficult to find data on existing biosensor industry economics · Provides comprehensive introduction to biosensors, including illustrations to better explain the main concepts · Includes recommendations to help design and improve existing biosensors · Supplies useful information for biologists, chemists, and mathematicians · Draws a distinction between classical modeling techniques and fractal models The techniques described will provide chemists, biologists, and mathematicians with an alternative technique for better modeling and describing complex analyte-receptor binding kinetics. This book should help those in the biosensor industry to better understand the existing market and to predict where the market is heading.Sadana, Ajit is the author of 'Engineering Biosensors Kinetics and Design Applications' with ISBN 9780126137637 and ISBN 0126137633.
