Biosensors Sample Clauses

Biosensors. In general, a biosensor consists of a biorecognition element that provides the assay with specificity to an analyte of interest, and a transducer as well as other components, such as amplification elements and solid supports. Ideally all these elements would be assembled within one housing (Xxxxxxxx et al. 2004). Within the environment of interest in this project the most relevant biosensors would detect bacteria and/or viruses of interest. There are three different types of biosensors; a direct biosensor, a competitive indirect biosensor and a non- competitive indirect biosensor. In the direct biosensor, the analyte is bound by its biorecogni- tion element, which is detected directly. In indirect biosensor an additional reaction (either competitive or non-competitive) has to occur in order to detect the binding of analyte and biorecognition element. Direct and non-competitive indirect biosensors provide signals that are proportional to the analyte concentration, whereas the competitive indirect biosensor provides an indirect proportionality (Xxxxxxxx 2003). In a study of Xxxxxxxx et al. (2003), a highly sensitive and specific RNA biosensor utilizing the NASBA based quantification of clpB gene coding for a heat shock protein of E. coli was developed. The newly developed biosensor, which was a membrane based DNA/RNA hy- bridization system using liposome amplification, allowed a rapid detection and quantification of E. coli mRNA in only 15-20 min. In addition, the developed biosensor was portable, inex- pensive and very easy to use. The detection limit using a synthetic target sequence was de- termined as 5 fmol per sample, which was similar to that of their previous study (Min and Xxxxxxxx 2002).
