A biosensor is an analytical device, used for the detection of an analyte, that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. ==Examples and applications== A common example of a commercial biosensor is the blood glucose biosensor, which uses the enzyme glucose oxidase to break blood glucose down. In doing so it first oxidizes gl...
