The organization of the content and the quantity of material presented are highly suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and for newcomers to this field; it can, therefore, be recommended for those wishing to gain both a first insight into, and a comprehensive overview of, this still growing topic.”  (\u003ci\u003eAnalytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 March 2013)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr Florinel-Gabriel BANICA\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Dept of Chemistry. Prior to this he was at the Technical University of Bucharest, Romania. Florin’s research is focused on bioelectrochemistry, and functionalized materials for chemical sensor applications. He teaches undergraduate courses on analytical chemistry, instrumental analysis, electroanalytical chemistry and physical chemistry, and graduate courses on atomic spectrometry and chemical sensors and biosensors (on which this book is based).  \u003cp\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelf-assessment questions and exercises\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapters start with essential principles, then go on to address more advanced topics  \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore than 1300 references to direct the reader to key literature and further reading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly illustrated with 450 figures, including chemical structures and reactions, functioning principles, constructive details and response characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eChemical sensors are self-contained analytical devices that provide real-time information on chemical composition. A chemical sensor integrates two distinct functions: recognition and transduction. Such devices are widely used for a variety of applications, including clinical analysis, environment monitoring and monitoring of industrial processes.
