Course Description |
Introducing the principle, design, and techniques of biosensing technology, especially the binding chemistry of bio-recognition elements. We will introduce how biospecific interaction is used for various applications. Describing the most common sensor principles used today, such as electric, optical, and mechanic registration. We will also lead students to compare different techniques with an emphasis on sensitivity and selectivity. Finally, teaching students critically evaluate the selected application of a biosensor. |
|
Course Objective |
Throughout this course, we hope students understand the principle of biosensing and the types of biosensing. These would include knowledge of sandwich assay, competitive assay, displacement assay, direct assay, liposome, fluorescence, signal amplification system, and nucleic acid-based assay. Meanwhile, we would like students to be familiar with basic biosensing operations. |
|
Course Requirement |
Students should read relating topics in textbooks as well as in research papers to understand the basics of the course contents. These basic knowledges delivered in the class will become the topics for student’s evaluation in the mid-term and final exam week. Before the group discussion & student’s oral presentation week, students are expected to choose topics related to food safety and biosensor technology for oral presentation and discuss freely about the topic during open discussion. |
