BIOSENSORS & BIOELECTRONICS

Biosensors & Bioelectronics has an open access mirror journal Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.Biosensors are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material, a biologically derived material or a biomimic intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical (Turner et al., 1987; Turner, 1989). Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices.The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics.While endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.

《生物传感器与生物电子》拥有一个开放获取的镜像期刊《生物传感器与生物电子:X》，具有相同的目标和范围，编辑团队，提交系统和严格的同行审查。生物传感器被定义为包含生物材料、生物衍生材料或生物模拟材料的分析设备，这些分析设备与物理化学传感器或传感微系统密切相关或集成在一起，可以是光学、电化学、测温、压电、磁性或微机械(Turner et al.， 1987;特纳,1989)。《生物传感器与生物电子学》是主要的国际期刊，致力于生物传感器和生物电子学的研究、设计、开发和应用。这是一个跨学科期刊服务有兴趣的专业人士生物材料开发和设计新颖的诊断和电子设备包括传感器、DNA芯片,电子鼻子,"和μ-TAS。生物传感器通常产生与特定分析物或一组分析物浓度成正比的数字电子信号。虽然信号在原则上可能是连续的，但可以将设备配置为产生单个测量值，以满足特定的市场需求。生物传感器的例子包括免疫传感器、基于酶的生物传感器、基于生物体和整个细胞的生物传感器。它们已被应用于各种各样的分析问题，包括在医学、生物医学研究、药物发现、环境、食品、加工工业、安全和国防方面的应用。设计和研究分子和超分子结构与分子生物认知和仿生性能用于分析设备也包括在该期刊的范围内。这里的重点是分子识别、纳米技术、分子印迹和超分子化学之间的互补交叉，以提高器件的分析性能和鲁棒性。新兴的生物电子学领域寻求在更广泛的范围内，如生物燃料电池、用于信息处理、信息存储、电子元件和执行器的仿生学和生物材料方面，结合电子技术来开发生物学。其中一个关键方面是生物材料与微、纳米电子器件之间的接口。尽力保持连贯性在期刊的范围，编辑会接受评论和论文明显相关的社区，它描述重要的新概念，巩固理解字段或实际应用提供重要的见解，制造和商业化的生物传感器和生物电子学。
