Microsensors?
Microsensors are small devices that convert physicalor chemical signals to electrical signals. They enableobjects to interface to the real world;
Implantable microsensors enables monitoringbiological parameters. They could allow real-timemeasurement of temperature, pressure, pH, oxygenand nitric oxide concentrations in vivo;
They allow to help the medical research community inlearning about the progression of diseases and assessdegree of response to treatment;
More & better access to measurement sites- Do not perturb the system under test- More accurate measurements and less invasive- Less psychological trauma & feedback
More functionality, better portability, and lower cost.

Definitions
MicrosensorA microdevice that transforms a signal in measured/analyte format inan electrical signal.
Direct sensorSignal to be measured is directly transformed to electrical signal.Example: photo-conductor converts light to change of resistance.
Indirect sensorSignal to be measured is first converted to some other variable that isthen converted to an electrical signal Example: acceleration sensor converts acceleration to strain
which is then sensed. Biosensor
A microsensor dedicated for medical implantable and cellular devices.

Sensor Performance Characteristics Transfer Function: The functional relationship between physical
input signal and electrical output signal.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity is the ratio between a small change inelectrical signal resulting from a small change in the physical signal tobe measured.
Dynamic Range: The range of input physical signals which may beconverted to electrical signals by the sensor. Signals outside of thisrange are expected to cause unacceptably large inaccuracy.
Linearity: The maximum deviation from a linear transfer function overthe specified dynamic range.
Accuracy: Generally defined as the largest expected error betweenactual and ideal output signals.
Resolution: The resolution of a sensor is defined as the minimumdetectable signal fluctuation.

Sensor Performance Characteristics
Hysteresis: Some sensors do not return to the same output valuewhen the input stimulus is cycled up or down. The width of theexpected error in terms of the measured quantity is defined as thehysteresis.
Noise: All sensors produce some output noise in addition to theoutput signal. The noise of the sensor limits the performance of thesystem based on the sensor. Noise is generally distributed across thefrequency spectrum.
Bandwidth: All sensors have finite response times to aninstantaneous change in physical signal. In addition, many sensorshave decay times, which would represent the time after a step changein physical signal for the sensor output to decay to its original value.The reciprocal of these times correspond to the upper and lowercutoff frequencies, respectively. The bandwidth of a sensor is thefrequency range between these two frequencies.

Thermistors
Thermistors are made fromsemiconductor material
Generally, they have a negativetemperature coefficient (NTC), that isNTC thermistors are most commonlyused
Ro is the resistance at a reference point(in the limit, absolute 0), B is materialconstant, and T and T0 are absolute andreference temperatures.

Thermocouples
A conductor generates a voltage when subjected to a temperature gradient. Tomeasure this voltage, one must use a second conductor material whichgenerates a different voltage under the same temperature gradient. So,Thermocouples measure temperature differences and need a known referencetemperature to yield the absolute readings.
When a pair of dissimilar metals are joined at one end, and there is atemperature difference between the joined ends and the open ends, thermalelectromotive force (emf) is generated, which can be measured in the openends. There are three major effects involved : the Seebeck, Peltier, andThomson.

pH Electrodes
Glass electrodes develop a gel layerwith mobile hydrogen ions when dippedinto an aqueous solution;
pH changes cause ion diffusionprocesses generating an electrodepotential. Lithium-rich glasses are wellsuited for this purpose;
The potential is measured in comparisonto a reference electrode which is usuallyan Ag/AgCl system;
The electric circuit is closed via adiaphragm separating the referenceelectrolyte from the solution.

Oxygen Partial Pressure (pO2) electrode
A membrane through which oxygenmust diffuse separates the measuringsolution from the electrolyte
Oxygen is reduced by electronscoming from the central platinumcathode which is surrounded by aglass insulator.
This design, a so-called polaro-graphicelectrode, needs an external powersupply.
For oxygen, the polarization voltage isin the order of 700 mV and the typicalcurrent for atmospheric pO2 is in theorder of 107 A.

Carbon Dioxide Partial Pressure (pCO2) electrode

Biosensors
A bioreceptor is a biological molecular species (e.g., an antibody, anenzyme, a protein, or a nucleic acid) or a living biological system (e.g.,cells, tissue, or whole organisms) that utilizes a biochemicalmechanism for recognition
The sampling component of a biosensor contains a bio-sensitive layer.The layer can either contain bioreceptors or be made of bioreceptorscovalently attached to the transducer.
The most common forms of bioreceptors used in biosensing are basedon:- Antibody/antigen interactions- Nucleic acid interactions- Enzymatic interactions- Cellular interactions (i.e. microorganisms, proteins)- Interactions using biomimetic materials (i.e., synthetic bioreceptors).
