Piezoelectric immunosensors -- Theory and applications

TLDR
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a survey of the use of antigens as coatings in quartz crystal microbalances using the piezoelectric immunosensor.
Abstract
A biosensor can be defined as a device incorporating biological material connected to or integrated within a transducer. The specificity and sensitivity is complemented by the transducer, which measures and computes the signal electronically. Many possible biological elements can be combined with various transducers to construct the biosensor.1,2 Some of the more important biological elements and transducers that have been used are listed in Table 9.1.. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a survey of the use of antigens as coatings in quartz crystal microbalances. This use was first proposed by Shons et al.,3 and since this original publication, considerable research has been devoted to the development of the piezoelectric immunosensor.
