About this ebook
This book focusses on recent advances and different research issues in the biosensor technology and also presents theoretical, methodological, well-established and validated empirical work dealing with the technology. The book addresses challenges for the development of a point-of-care test platform. The book also describes printed chip-based assay (Lab-on-a-Chip, Lab-on-a-PCB) for rapid, inexpensive, multiplex detection of disease biomarkers in real samples. It aims to overcome existing barriers for Lab-on-a-Chip commercialization (lack of cost effective mass manufacturing methods, self-contained, fully autonomous operation and user-friendliness). Different advanced techniques including electrochemical, optical, mass, colorimetric and signal amplification strategies describe early stage disease diagnosis. The book gathers scientific and technological novelties and advancements already developed or under development in the academic and research communities. It covers a vast audience from basic science to engineering and technology experts and learners.
