About The Book
Fluorescence Sensors and Biosensors is an essential resource that delves into the significant role of fluorescence-based sensing in fields such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting, DNA sequencing, high-throughput screening, and clinical diagnostics. This book emphasizes the latest developments and emerging technologies in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge fluorescence sensing techniques.

The text begins with an introduction to aptamers (oligoribonucleotides) and bio-recognition methods based on periplasmic binding proteins. It then explores advanced topics such as the molecular beacon approach for DNA recognition, resonance energy transfer (FRET) in sensing, and the application of carbonic anhydrase recognition platforms for metal ion detection and imaging.

The book also covers the benefits of fluorophores, fluorescent labels, sensor and assay construction, as well as metal-enhanced fluorescence, phosphorescent labels, and lab-on-a-chip applications. Further discussions highlight the development of anion-selective fluorescent probes for clinical analysis and the measurement of trace analytes like free zinc ions in biological samples.

In the final chapters, practical applications of fluorescence-based sensing technology are explored, including the development of planar waveguide biosensors for clinical diagnostics and its adaptation for biochemical production via fermentation. The text provides a deep understanding of fluorescence sensors, making it an invaluable resource for professionals and researchers in biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and biomedicine.

Written by internationally recognized experts, this book is an up-to-date and comprehensive guide on fluorescence sensors and biosensors, with a focus on their applications in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.
