Characteristics of biosensor

Biosensor characteristics:-

1. Sensitivity is the response of the sensor to per unit change in analyte concentration.

2. Selectivity is the ability of the sensor to respond only to the target analyte. That is, lack of   response to other interfering chemicals is the desired feature.

3. Range is the concentration, range over which the sensitivity of the sensor is good.

4. Response time is the time required by the sensor to produce r responses.

5. Reproducibility is the accuracy with which the sensor's output can be obtained.

6. Detection limit is the lowest concentration of the analyte to which there is a measurable,

    response.

7. Life time is the time period over which the sensor can be used without significant deterioration in performance characteristics.

8. Stability characterizes the change in its baseline or sensitivity over a fixed period of time.
