Toxins and Pollutants Detection on Biosensor Surfaces
Detecting toxins and pollutants is a field of biological sensing investigation. A rapid responsive and reliable biosensor has become an urgent requirement to help detect pathogenic bacteria and toxins that cause dangerous diseases. Recently studies have developed a multi-channel surface plasma resonance sensor for the simultaneous quantitative disclosure of food-borne bacterial pathogens. Now, biosensors are a dominant alternative to traditional analytic procedures to control both natural water quality and the water treatment used by the food manufacturing during the production method, and wastewater before it is released into natural waterways. The most significant attributes of biosensors are the immense sensitivity, short time interval, precision, and comparatively insignificant cost. Biometric sensors will discover the existence or coexist the content of varied cytotoxic materials (insecticides, serious metals, etc.) in both water and food. The existence of pollutants, particularly toxic metal ions within the water used in food manufacture processes, may be a potential field for biosensor applications. This chapter summarizes the evolution and application of biosensors to regulate and discover toxins and different pollutants. It will highlight the various biosensors and the future sight of this field.
