This idea was commercially exploited in 1975 with the successful launch of the Yellow Springs Instrument Company’s glucose analyzer based on the amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide (H ). Since then, many biosensors have been developed to detect a wide range of biochemical parameters, using a number of approaches, each having a different degree of complexity and efficiency.

Biosensors in Health Care and Diagnostics With rising healthcare costs and to improve patient care, diagnostic laboratories have been challenged to develop new tests that are reliable, cost–effective and accurate and to optimize existing protocols by making them faster and more economical.

This "medical telesensor" chip on a fingertip can measure and transmit body temperature (Courtesy: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ref. 32). 3. Biosensing and Nucleic Acid Analyses Over the past two decades, the practice of DNA sequence detection has become more ubiquitous and will continue to increase exponentially in genetics (primary patient diagnosis, carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis), pathology, criminology, food safety and biological warfare agents.

Sensors & Transducers Journal, Vol.76, Issue 2, February 2007, pp.935-936 Biological and chemical warfare agents have broad threat spectrum, ranging from relatively simple chemical agents to complex bioengineered microorganisms. Traditional chemical agents (nerve, –3 vesicant, and blood agents) have acute toxicities in the range of 10 g/person and are relatively easy to detect.
