A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces

A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces analyzes the kinetics of binding and dissociation of different analytes by different biosensor techniques, demonstrating, and then comparing each other. Emphasis is on newer instrumentation techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi), and classical techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and finally, DNA biosensors and nanobiosensors. In addition, the closing chapter includes discussion of biosensor economics.

Graduate students, researchers and supervisors in academia in biotechnology, biomedical/chemical engineering, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and managers in the industry would find the book useful in helping develop better biosensors. MDs could also find the book useful in helping to diagnose diseases quicker, and more correctly which would lead to a better prognosis
