ZP is a leading ISO13485 contract developer and manufacturer of electrochemical biosensors, IVDS and wearable biosensors.
Read our glossay of biosensor defintions:
Biosensor: A device that combines a biological recognition element (such as an enzyme, antibody, or nucleic acid) with a transducer transducer (such as an electrode to produce an electrical signal in response to a specific analyte (such as a chemical or biomolecule).
Transducer: A device that converts one form of energy into another. In the context of biosensors, transducers are often used to convert the biological recognition element’s response to a specific analyte (such as a change in electrode coverage into an electrical signal that can be easily measured and quantified.
Analyte: The substance being measured or detected by a biosensor.
Recognition element: The biological component of a biosensor that specifically binds to or interacts with the analyte of interest.
Specificity: The ability of a biosensor to selectively detect a specific analyte in the presence of other substances.
Sensitivity: The ability of a biosensor to accurately detect small amounts of an analyte.
Selectivity: The ability of a biosensor to distinguish between different analytes.
Calibration: The process of adjusting a biosensor to ensure that it is producing accurate and reproducible measurements.
