What Are Biosensors and How Are They Used in Toxicology?
Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biological component with a physicochemical detector. In toxicology, biosensors are used to detect toxins in various environments, including healthcare settings, industries, and environmental monitoring. These devices offer rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of toxic substances, enabling quick responses to potential health threats. Recent advancements have focused on increasing their portability and sensitivity, making them valuable tools for fieldwork and real-time monitoring.
