It will be useful to researchers in this field who are interested in new developments in the early detection of such. The authors have collected very valuable and, in some aspects indispensable experience in the area i.e. in the development and application of portable biosensors for the detection of potential hazards. Most efforts are centered on the development of immunochemical assays including flow-lateral systems and engineered antibodies and their fragments. In addition, new approaches to the detection of enzyme inhibitors, direct enzymatic and microbial detection of metabolites and nutrients are elaborated. Some realized prototypes and concept devices applicable for the further use as a basis for the cooperation programs are also discussed.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThere is a particular focus on electrochemical and optical detection systems,\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eincluding those employing carbon nanotubes, quantum dots and metal\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003enanoparticles. The authors are well-known scientists and most of them are editors of respected international scientific journals. Although recently developed biosensors utilize known principles, the biosensing devices described can significantly shorten the time required for successful detection and enhance efforts in more time-consuming directions, e.g. remote sensing systems and validation in real-sample analysis.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe authors describe advances in all stages of biosensor development: the\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eselection of biochemical components, their use in biosensor assembly, detection principles and improvements and applications for real sample assays.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319804576\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28926-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 508\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752317022348,"sku":"9783319804576","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319804576.jpg?v=1774496820","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319804576","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
