EBM 504: Biosensors Continuous Assessment Test 1

Continuous assessment test one in biosensors, nine questions. The two classifications of errors in measurement and the types of error found in each case; the definitions of transducer, sensor, actuator, receptor, analyte and substrate; three types of sensor with their characteristics; the significance of studying biosensors with relevant examples; two ways of classifying biosensors; how biosensors are assembled, with the techniques used before their advent demonstrated; piezoelectric biosensors defined with their use in medical applications; practical applications and protocols for enzyme biosensors; and the components of a biosensor with examples of its application in disease biomarker detection, drug testing and non-invasive measurement.
