This course is an introduction to chemical and biochemical sensors. It includes an overview of their importance, principles, main components, functionality, and challenges. A number of chemical and biochemical sensors will be discussed in detail. Emphasis will be put on electrochemical sensors. To this end, basic principles of electrochemistry, as well as some electrochemical techniques will be discussed, including polarography cyclic voltammetry, coulometry and amperometry.
