Biosensors have captured the imagination of the world''s scientific and commercial communities by combining interdisciplinary skills of biologists, physicists, chemists and engineers to provide innovative solutions to analytical problems. Biosensors are applicable to clinical diagnostics, food analysis, cell culture monitoring, environmental control and various military situations. Ever increasing demands for rapid and convenient analyses of a wide variety of materials in diverse locations has led to intense interest in the fusion of biology and electronics which mimics our principal concern: the effect of materials and environments on living systems. This series, "Advances in Biosensors", presents a compendium of research papers, in which authorities in the field of biosensors provide an up-to-date overview of their laboratory''s contribution, summarizing the primary research as it has appeared, possibly scattered, in the journal and conference literature, and reflecting on their findings. The net result will be intense, yet highly readable accounts of the state of the art at this leading edge of analytical technology.

In this second volume of a sub-series dedicated to regional activities, eminent authorities form China in the field of biosensors provide an up-to-date overview of their laboratory's contribution, summarizing the primary research as it has appeared, possibly scattered, in the journal and conference literature and reflecting on their findings. This produces an innovative synthesis of such smaller research efforts into an overall perspective on the topic, which is difficult for the reader to glean from the multifarious original publications often available only in Chinese. There is latitude for the inclusion of detail that may have been excised from the original publication and for speculation on future possibilities. The net result is intense, yet highly readable accounts of the state of the art at this leading edge of analytical technology in this key region of the world.This is the first book in the English language summarizing biosensor and bioelectronics efforts in China.

Keeping up to date with new biosensors developments has been getting harder ... – one of the fastest moving fields of academic and industrial research in the world – a constant stream of new commercial applications – centres of research excellence all over Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim – enormous implications for monitoring personal health and fitness, the food we eat, the environment, health services and industry The answer came on 20–22 May 1992, with BIOSENSORS 92. With a core of invited speakers and over 220 original contributed papers from 24 countries, BIOSENSORS 92 was the largest and most comprehensive event of its kind – a response to the growing importance of biosensors as a powerful new technology. Elsevier Advanced Technology, the organizers of BIOSENSORS 92, have now published the proceedings of this important event. Biosensors 92 Proceedings contains over 150 papers presenting current research and developments straight from those who are leading the way in: – Enzyme–based Sensors – Affinity Sensors – Environmental Monitoring using Biosensors – Biosensors and Bioelectronics Biosensors 92 Proceedings – Your key to current awareness in sensor technology for just £90 [dollar rate subject to current £/$ exchange rate].
