Keeping up to date with new biosensors developments has been getting harder ... – one of the fastest moving fields of academic and industrial research in the world – a constant stream of new commercial applications – centres of research excellence all over Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim – enormous implications for monitoring personal health and fitness, the food we eat, the environment, health services and industry The answer came on 20–22 May 1992, with BIOSENSORS 92. With a core of invited speakers and over 220 original contributed papers from 24 countries, BIOSENSORS 92 was the largest and most comprehensive event of its kind – a response to the growing importance of biosensors as a powerful new technology. Elsevier Advanced Technology, the organizers of BIOSENSORS 92, have now published the proceedings of this important event. Biosensors 92 Proceedings contains over 150 papers presenting current research and developments straight from those who are leading the way in: – Enzyme–based Sensors – Affinity Sensors – Environmental Monitoring using Biosensors – Biosensors and Bioelectronics Biosensors 92 Proceedings – Your key to current awareness in sensor technology for just £90 [dollar rate subject to current £/$ exchange rate].

This work reviews the current status of research and commercial developments in the field of biosensors used for food analysis. It looks at the possibilities of biosensors for food analysis, their capacity for measurement of a range of analytes and their ability to monitor complex biochemical parameters during the production or processing of foods. It examines several opportunities for biosensor applications within the food industry supply chain, for instance to indicate the quality and seasonal variation of natural resources.

Bioelectronics is a rich field of research involving the application of electronics engineering principles to biology, medicine, and the health sciences. With its interdisciplinary nature, bioelectronics spans state-of-the-art research at the interface between the life sciences, engineering and physical sciences. Introductory Bioelectronics offers a concise overview of the field and teaches the fundamentals of biochemical, biophysical, electrical, and physiological concepts relevant to bioelectronics. It is the first book to bring together these various topics, and to explain the basic theory and practical applications at an introductory level. The authors describe and contextualise the science by examining recent research and commercial applications. They also cover the design methods and forms of instrumentation that are required in the application of bioelectronics technology.
