While a bioprobe has some things in common with a biosensor, most biosensors are not bioprobes, and most bioprobes are not biosensors.

A biosensor is a kind of sensor -- i.e., it is used to detect something -- that uses at least some biological tissue in its construction.

Perhaps the most well-known biosensor is the miner's canary, a small bird in a cage used to detect carbon monoxide and other deadly gases.

The thing sensed by a biosensor is not necessarily biological -- as in this case, carbon monoxide.

A bioprobe is a kind of sensor used to detect some kind of biological thing.

Perhaps the most well-known bioprobe is the blood pressure meter, used to measure blood pressure.

The bioprobe itself -- in this case, the pressure cuff -- is not necessarily biological.

A hybridization probe is used to detect a particular DNA sequence.

Because the thing it is designed to detect (a particular DNA sequence) is biological, and the hybridization probe itself is made of something biological (the complementary DNA sequence), a hybridization probe is simultaneously a bioprobe and a biosensor.
