Biosensors are devices that detect biological information and convert it into electrical signals or data. In simpler terms, they can sense biological activities and specific molecules like proteins and DNA, and turn this information into an electronic format for measurement.
This capability allows them to be used in various fields such as medical diagnosis, early disease detection, environmental monitoring, and food safety. For example, blood glucose sensors measure blood sugar levels, and heart rate sensors are built into wearable devices.
Biosensors are widely used because they are highly sensitive and can provide rapid measurements, making them very useful tools.
