Abstract:
These days, there is a growing emphasis on the need to analyze and control a wide range of factors in fields like the food business, medical treatment, sanitation, atmospheric safeguarding, drug research, and forensic science. By producing impulses corresponding to the amount of a metabolite in the interaction, a biological sensor is an instrument which analyzes physiological and molecular interactions. The word 'biosensor' can be described as the device that senses or records the concentration or biological response from analyte-receptor interaction in a biological system. Leland Clark Jr. constructed the Clark oxygen electrode, the very initial real biosensor for the monitoring of oxygen levels, in 1956. Clark is referred to as the pioneer of biological sensors. The first biosensors to be efficiently employed and marketed to measure different analytes were electrochemical biosensors. Electrochemical biosensors produce an electric charge in line with the percentage of the materials that need to be analyzed. The vital monitoring of athletes, mental health sufferers, long-term care recipients, and residents of remote areas is displayed by wearable biosensors. Biosensors are portable diagnostic devices used for prediagnosis or to check for any symptoms of the disease. Many innovative technologies for the benefit of humanity will soon be ready to be unveiled to the world.
