Course Content: - Introduction to Biosensors: Important terms, definitions, components of a biosensor, Transducer and principles of operation, Biosensors-needs and demand - Recognition elements, immobilization strategies, assay formats, sensor characteristics and requirements - Piezoelectric transducers (Microgravimetric sensors, microbalances) - Optical sensors (surface plasmon resonance, techniques based on total internal reflection) - Electrochemical sensors (Potentiometric, amperometric, impedimetric, ion-selective, FET) - Bioelectronic devices (e.g. organic bioelectronics in vitro and in vivo) - Recent advances in the field Learning goals: The student can explain the components of a biosensor and different transducer principles The student has insight on the requirements of a biosensor The students can explain different technological layouts and working principles of bioelectronic devices The student has insight on various state-of-the-art techniques playing an important role in the detection of biomolecules, metabolites, and organic/inorganic contaminants. The student can select a suitable technique for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, the early detection of diseases such as cancers as well as in environmental monitoring and food safety.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Presence at the practical sessions, Journal club discussions and presentation (assignment) is obligatory
The practical reports, the journal club and the assignment scores are part of the final result. Practical reports must always be submitted. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students who are unauthorized absent at one or more practica, receive as final grade for the course a N - unauthorized absence' and have to attend the practicum in the next academic year and have to meet the requirements (e.g. a signed report) to receive their final grade. The student needs to re-enroll in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
Those who do not submit practical reports will receive an N - unauthorized absence as the end result. |
