Chapters 1 to 5 deal with ionophore-based potentiometric sensors or ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). Chapters 6 to 11 cover voltammetric sensors and biosensors and their various applications. The third section (Chapter 12) is dedicated to gas analysis. Chapters 13 to 17 deal with enzyme based sensors. Chapters 18 to 22 are dedicated to immuno-sensors and genosensors. Chapters 23 to 29 cover thick and thin film based sensors and the final section (Chapters 30 to 38) is focused on novel trends in electrochemical sensor technologies based on electronic tongues, micro and nanotechnologies, nanomaterials, etc. 

Gutes et al. [113] have described an automated procedure based on voltammetric electronic tongue formed by a biosensor array for the determination of glucose in fruit juice samples. Linear sweep voltammetric signals were obtained with high selectivity and artificial neural networks were used as the modeling tool.

Recent advances in the design and fabrication of chemical and biological sensors for toxicity evaluation are summarized in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 discusses the applications of electronic noses and tongues in areas such as food, beverage, environmental, clinical, and pharmaceutical applications. Chapter 7 overviews the applications of sensors in food and environmental analysis. Chapter 8 focuses on the medical diagnosis, with particular emphasis on in-vivo measurement where either body or breath odor are collected and analyzed. Chapter 9 outlines the DNA biosensors that hold great promise for the task of environmental control and monitoring.
