A biosensor is a device that measures biological or chemical reactions by converting them into electrical signals. Biosensors are made up of a biological component, such as an enzyme, antibody, or cell, and a transducer that converts the biological response into an electrical signal. The signal can be electrical, optical, or thermal.
