Question

Which of the following can be classified as recognition transduction component of a biosensor?

• A. Amplifiers
• B. Bioreceptors
• C. Transducer
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Transducer

A biosensor is an analytical device, used for the detection of an analyte, that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. A biosensor typically consists of a biorecognition component, biotransducer component and electronic system which include a signal amplifier, processor, and display. The transducer transforms the signal resulting from the interaction of the analyte with the biological element into another signal that can be more easily measured and quantified.

So, the correct answer is option C.
