There are several types of sensors used in toxicology, each with its unique application:
- Electrochemical Sensors: Used for detecting gases and volatile compounds. - Optical Sensors: Utilize light to detect changes in the environment, often used for detecting heavy metals. - Biosensors: Combine biological components with electronic systems to detect specific molecules, useful in biomonitoring. - Mass Spectrometry Sensors: Provide detailed analysis of chemical compounds, used in laboratory settings for precise measurements.
