Bioanalytical chemistry plays today a central role in various fields, from healthcare to food and environmental control. This book presents the main methodologies for analyzing biomacromolecules, with a focus on methods based on molecular recognition. The six chapters move from fundamentals to the most recent advances, achieved by a synergetic combination of bio and nanotechnologies. The need for rapid and reliable analytical tools able to perform a large number of quantitative analyses, not only in centralized laboratories and core facilities but also for point-of-care testing, has been dramatically stressed by the recent crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the authors is to provide graduate students and young researchers with the elements of interdisciplinary knowledge necessary not only to use the wide arsenal of bioanalytical tools available today but also to contribute to the development of even more effective devices and methods.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful and versatile analytical technique, which is widely applied for biosensing and successfully commercialized in the healthcare diagnostic market. After introducing the fundamental concepts, this book will highlight the recent analytical applications with a special focus on immunoassays, genotoxicity, imaging, DNA and enzymatic assays. The topic is clearly at the frontier between several scientific domains involving analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, materials science, nanoscience and biology. This book is ideal for graduate students, academics and researchers in industry looking for a comprehensive guide to the different aspects of electrogenerated chemiluminescence.

The book presents the conception and realization of a pervasive electronic architecture for electrochemical applications, focusing on electronic instrumentation design and device development, particularly in electrochemical Point-of-Care and Lab-on-a-Chip devices, covering examples based on amperometric (DC) and impedance detection (AC) techniques. The presented electronics combine tailored front-end instrumentation and back-end data post-processing, enabling applications in different areas, and across a variety of techniques, analytes, transducers and environments. It addresses how the electronics are designed and implemented with special interest in the flow process: starting from electronic circuits and electrochemical biosensor design to a final validation and implementation for specific applications. Similarly, other important aspects are discussed throughout the book, such as electrochemical techniques, different analytes, targets, electronics reliability and robustness. The book also describes the use of the presented electronics in different electrochemical applications through some examples: instantaneous and non-destructive cellular monitoring and portable glucose monitoring device. Moreover, the book aims to introduce a comprehensive approach to electronic circuits, techniques and electrochemical sensors in POC devices to a general audience of students in biomedical and electronics engineering, scientists, and engineers.
