- Course objectives
- Students will gain overview of biosensors, including electrochemical and optical sensors. The experience on sensors based on affinity interactions, piezoelectric and calorimetric sensors is suitable for characterization of affinity interactions. The obtained knowledge will help to understand principles of the instrumentation available at the department.
