Volume II focuses on the state-of-the-art technologies and applications of various types of sensors. It presents different analyzers and their operational parameters in many areas of practical use. Moreover, aspects of the marketability of biosensors are covered in the context of established conventional analytical techniques as well as under consideration of the needs, habits and beliefs of consumers. A picture thus emerges of how applications can be expanded in the future and novel markets can be opened up.
