biosensing

Biosensing refers to the use of biological materials, like enzymes or antibodies, to detect specific substances, such as pathogens or toxins, in a sample. These sensors convert a biological response into a measurable signal, often electrical or optical. Biosensors are widely used in healthcare for real-time monitoring of glucose levels in diabetics, detecting diseases, and ensuring food safety. They offer quick, accurate results, making them valuable tools in medicine, environmental monitoring, and industrial processes. Essentially, biosensing harnesses biology to provide important insights and information about various substances in our surroundings.
