MEMS-Based Biosensor

A MEMS-based biosensor is a biosensor which is realized by microfabrication technology and takes advantage of the small size. It incorporates a biological component with a physiochemical transducer such as a microsystem. It is a special class of chemical sensor that takes advantage of the high selectivity and sensitivity of biologically active materials. It involves immunoenzyme and microorganism sensors.
