Optical Biosensors (2nd Edition)

Edited by Frances Ligler and Chris Taitt 
Elsevier  March 2008  



Hardback  712 pp  ISBN 9780444531254      £115.00
This book describes the principles of successful systems, examples of applications, and evaluates the advantages and deficiencies of each. It also addresses future developments on two levels: possible improvements in existing systems and emerging technologies that could provide new capabilities in the future. The book is formatted for ease of use and is therefore suitable for scientists and engineers, students and researcher at all levels in the field.

This book will be of interest to researchers, graduate students and Post Docs and program managers
