Question

There are 3 so called generation of biosensors.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in examination.

Asked question is from Biosensors in division Biosensors of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

The best explanation: There are 3 so called generation of biosensors and they are as follows:

• 1^st generation: The normal product of the reaction diffuses to the transducer and causes the electrical response.

• 2^nd generation: Specific mediators between the reaction which generate an improved response by passing it through the transducer.

• 3^rd generation: No product or mediator diffusion is directly involved. But, the reaction itself causes the response.

Hence the above statement is true.
