Electrochemical Biosensors

Meaning

Electrochemical Biosensors are analytical devices that integrate a biological recognition element with an electrochemical transducer to detect and quantify specific biological molecules, such as hormones, enzymes, or metabolites. These sensors convert a biochemical event—like the binding of a hormone to a recognition layer—into a measurable electrical signal, such as current, potential, or conductance. Their primary advantage lies in their potential for high sensitivity, portability, and rapid, real-time analysis, making them ideal for point-of-care diagnostics and continuous monitoring in the hormonal health space. They represent a significant technological leap toward personalized and accessible diagnostic testing.
