CHEM 524 - Bio Sensors and Bio Analy Chem

Credits: 4

This is an introduction to biosensors and bioelectronics including quantitative design and performance analysis. Optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric and thermal transduction principles will be discussed. A fundamental knowledge of surface science will be gained that will relate to bio-immobilization, molecular recognition, and non-specific interactions of enzymes, antibodies and nucleic acid modified surfaces. Bioanalytical chemistry applications in clinical, environmental, food-safety and biosecurity will be discussed. Format: 3 hours of lecture. Offered: Occasionally.
