Biosensors for Direct Monitoring of Environmental Pollutants in Field edited by D.P. Nikolelis, Ulrich J. Krull, Joseph Wang, Marco Mascini.

Biosensors offer clear and distinct advantages over standard analytical methods for the direct monitoring of environmental pollutants in the field, such as real-time detection with minimum sample preparation and handling. The present book highlights recent advantages that will be of great value to a...
