Novel biosensors for optimised food, biomedical and environmental analysis

The need for environmental, food and biomedical sensing and monitoring is constantly growing. The ideal technological solution for this would be small, low-cost and autonomous devices that report findings continuously or on demand and with minimal human intervention.

This kind of sensing and monitoring device should be able to detect a multitude of chemical and/or biological threats, and describe complex environments to a data collection and analysis centre. In principle, biosensors, and specifically arrayed biosensors (microarrays or biochips), could perform such tasks.
