This is a modern introductory book on sensors, combining underlying theory with bang up to date topics such as nanotechnology. The text is suitable for graduate students and research scientists with little background in analytical chemistry. It is user-friendly, with an accessible theoretical approach of the basic principles, and references for further reading. The book covers up-to-date advances in the sensor field, e.g. nanotechnology and quantum dots. It includes calculation exercises and solutions, and the accompanying website contains Powerpoint slides.

Dr Florinel-Gabriel BANICA is Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Dept of Chemistry. Prior to this he was at the Technical University of Bucharest, Romania. Florin’s research is focused on bioelectrochemistry, and functionalized materials for chemical sensor applications. He teaches undergraduate courses on analytical chemistry, instrumental analysis, electroanalytical chemistry and physical chemistry, and graduate courses on atomic spectrometry and chemical sensors and biosensors (on which this book is based).
