Biosensor research in EBSR

Research on biosensors includes the use of advanced technologies in the fields of microelectronics, electrochemistry, optics, acoustics and mechanics, as well as the use of the best techniques in chemical synthesis and new technologies such as molecular, protein and genetic engineering to obtain "biosensing materials" with multiple properties and therefore useful for numerous and different applications.

Biosensor technology arises precisely from the convergence between the knowledge of intelligent materials and applied genomics. EBSR, which over the years has established partnerships with research centers of excellence in various sectors, operates in this area by focusing its interest on finding new solutions and new applications by means of specific projects and collaborations. The industry shows a growing interest in biosensor technology; it is not a coincidence that biosensors are emplòoyed in numerous fields of application and in different areas (biotechnology, medicine, environment, food technology) to solve analytical problems related to safety, monitoring and process controls.

EBSR is available to satisfy customer needs also by activating customised research. The biosensors produced by EBSR can be applied in monitoring and detection of pollutants in water, soil, air and, through screening techniques, also in the field of human health. Biosensors are able to selectively measure analytes of various nature, providing quantitative and/or qualitative data in a short time.
