Introduction to Bioanalytical Sensors Alice J. Cunningham Wiley-Interscience, 1998, 418 pp

This book is a general review of the technology and principles for creating biosensors. oriented toward analytical chemists wishing to expand into detection of biomolecules. It discusses amperometric detectors, field effect sensors, potentiometric sensors, light addressable potentiometric sensors, fiber optic devices, evanescent wave, surface plasmon resonance, electrogenerated chemiluminescence, thermal sensors, and acoustic wave devices. Doesn't give the level of detail as the excellent Bioconjugate Techniques, which gives a wealth of information on covalent modification of proteins, and doesn't discuss procedures for actually building or using the biosensors like Affinity Biosensors: Techniques and Protocols, but has numerous literature references for those who need more detailed and specific information, and is mainly useful as a source of ideas.
