- Biosensors
- A machine that can be used to detect a specific molecule in a mixture of molecules
- Advantages
- contains an enzyme = specific
- Can detect a molecule in a very low concentration
- Very fast
- how it works
- the mixture of materials like blood or urine goes through a semi permeable membrane to the immobilised enzymes. Enzyme substrate complexes are formed that sends a physico chemical signal to the transducer that turns the chemical energy into electrical energy
- why are they better than the 'clinistix'
- the clinistix aren't quantifying (no numbers)
- so less accurate than the biosensor
- the clinistix aren't quantifying (no numbers)
