Clark, Leland Biosensor

An early reference to the concept of a biosensor is from Dr. Leland C. Clark, who worked on biosensors in the early 1960s (2) developing an enzyme electrode for glucose concentration measurement with the enzyme glucose oxidase, a measurement that is important in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in diabetes patients. Still today, the most common biosensors used are for glucose analysis.
