    In developing the electronic nose and biosensor devices, researchers not only copy biochemical pathways, but also use nature's approach to signal interpretation as a blueprint for man-made sensing systems. Commercial biosensors have demonstrated their benefits and practical applications, providing high sensitivity and selectivity, combined with a significant reduction in sample preparation assay time and the use of expensive reagents. The Handbook of Biosensors and Electronic Noses discusses design and optimization for the multitude of practical uses of these devices including:

    "The complexity of the discussion related to the theory of these sensors is lessened through the thorough use of figures and tables to assist in illustration of the concepts discussed. This book would be valuable to anyone considering the use of biosensors as analytical tools, or as on-line sensing devices for quality and process control. This book is suggested as a valuable reference for anyone considering the use of biosensors for the analysis of constituents within biological systems."
