Chemical Sensors and Biosensors.

Catalog description

Semester course; 1.5 lecture hours. 1.5 credits. Prerequisite: CHEM 409 . The goal of this course is to teach “structure-function” relationships responsible for the analytical response of sensors and biosensors based on chemical transduction. The material covered is intended to provide a connection between the chemical structure of sensors and the transduction mechanisms that produce a response signal, as well as the physicochemical factors that affect performance. The content provided will be from different textbooks but complemented with illustrative examples from the research literature. Note: This is a half-semester course.
