What is a catalytic biosensor?
A catalytic biosensor has two components the biological componet being the enzymes and the analyte. The interactions between the two constitute the sensor.

What is a bioreceptor?
A bioreceptor is a compound, such as a protein, which binds to a particular specific compound when part of a biosensor.

Is a bio probe the same as a bio sensor?
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.
What are biosensors?
A biosensor is an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical signal. The term 'biosensor' is often used to cover sensor devices used in order to determine the concentration of substances or other parameters of biological interest even where they do not utilise a biological system directly for example blood oxygen sats measurments taken by light absorbance measuments.AnswerA biosensor is an analytical device which consists of 1) biologically sensitive element (frequently and enzyme or antibody). 2)a transducer to transform the signal into another form (eg colour change resulting from an enzyme reaction becomes an electrical signal) 3)An output device e.g. screen/printer.Almost every dipstick test used by doctors and avalible at your chemist's can be considered a simple form of biosensor. Biosensors relying on colour changes are commonly avalible in the UK over the counter as pregnancy tests and cholesterol test strips the analytes being HCG and Total and/or HLD cholesterol depending on manufacturer.Biosensors offer the potential for point of care testing as they can be portable and easy to use. The most sucessful biosensor to date is the glucose biosensor used be many diabetics to monitor blood glucose levels. The glucose biosensor is an amperometric device relying on the current generated when glucose oxidase reduces FAD to FADH2 and the resulting FADH2 is then oxidised by an electrode held at constant +ve voltage.The glucose sensor is sucessful as there is a relativly large concentration of glucose in blood plasma, other biologically relevant analytes are not so abundant and amplification of the signal must be achieved. Amplification by carrier systems for electons and membrane bound electron transfer pathways are common research themes.
Can biosensors detect non-pathogens?
Biosensors can be made to detect almost anything. You could design a biosensor to detect a non-pathogenic bacteria but there would be few people who would want to buy it.
Basic principle of biosensor?
basic priciple of biosensor involved in three element first biological recognization element which highly specific towards the biological material analytes produces second transducesrs detect and transduces signal from biological target -receptor molecule to electrical signal which is due to reaction occur ,third after transduction sinal from biological to electrical signal where its amplification is necessary and takes place and read out in detector after processing the values are displayed for monitor and controlling the system .
