Preface
The title of this textbook, Biosensors: From Electric Circuits to Immunosensors,
implies that we are going to learn both electric circuitry (in relation to conventional
sensors such as temperature sensors) and biosensors (such as antibody-based
immunosensors). The idea of putting these two topics together into a single book
came from my decision to add biosensor topics to the “Sensors and Controls” class
taught at the University of Arizona. At that time, I realized there was no available
textbook that equally addressed these two topics. In typical sensor textbooks,
biosensor topics are relatively sparse. In biosensor textbooks, fundamental electric
circuitry is rarely addressed. More importantly, none of those textbooks address the
necessary link between these two topics. After all, most biosensors require electric
circuit components.
This textbook is designed not only for college undergraduate students but also
for the scientists and engineers working in the sensor or biosensor industries as a
hands-on guide. Although this book may seem to be a collecti on of laboratory
procedures (and certainly can be used for a college-level laboratory class), its
primary aim is to deliver hands-on guidance and visual demonstrations of biosensor
applications. Readers can complete virtual experiments by reading the lab
procedures and viewing the photographs taken during the lab exercises. They can
also carry out their own experiments by purchasing the necessary equipment and
supplies. This book takes a step-by-step approach towards the end result of building
an antibody-based immunosensor from scratch.
Many people have provided invaluable help in creating this textbook. First of all,
I wish to express my deepest appreciation to my wife, Dr. Sunhi Choi (also at
University of Arizona), for her support and advice throughout the writing of this
textbook. I also wish to thank my former graduate student Dr. Lonnie J. Lucas (at
Applied Energetics) for all the time he spent with me in shaping the entire book, in
providing numerous ideas and suggestions, and in proofreading the entire draft.
This collaboration with Lonnie was one of the most pleasant collaborations in my
entire life. Specifically, Chap. 9 was written jointly with Lonnie. I also thank the
students enrolled in my Sensors and Controls class in Fall 2009, Fall 2010, and Fall
2011 at the University of Arizona, who have provided corrections and constructive
v
suggestions on the draft lab procedures. The help of my teaching assistants for this
class, Zachary S. Dean, C. Christopher Stemple, and Scott V. Angus, is greatly
appreciated as well. Specifically, Zach collected many photographs of lab exercises
and proofread many parts of the manuscript. Other students and postdocs in my lab
have also provided numerous corrections and suggestions. My former and current
department heads, Dr. Donald C. Slack and Dr. Mark R. Riley, have also provided
support and suggestions for my class. I also thank the late Dr. Kenneth Jordan
(University of Arizona), who taught the Sensors and Controls class for many years
before me and laid the foundations for the lab procedures described in Chaps. 2 to 6.
Finally, support and suggestions from the editorial office at Springer, Alison
Waldron and Steven M. Elliot, are greatly appreciated. None of this would have
been possible without the contributions of all of my students, coworkers, and
collaborators.

Jeong-Yeol Yoon received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical
Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul (South Korea) in 1992, 1994, and
1999, respectively, under the guidance of Dr. Woo-Sik Kim, in collaboration with
Dr. Jung-Hyun Kim, where he worked primarily on polymer colloids. He received
his second Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of
California, Los Angeles in 2004, working on lab-on-a-chip and biomaterials,
under the guidance of Dr. Robin L. Garrell. He joined the Agr icultural &
Biosystems Engineering (ABE) faculty in August 2004 and holds joint appointment
in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arizona. He is
also a faculty member in the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Interdisciplinary
Program (BME GIDP), Microbiology Graduate Program, and BIO5 Institute at the
University of Arizona. Dr. Yoon is currently an Associate Professor and is directing
the Biosensors Lab (http://biosensors.abe.arizona.edu). He is a member of the
Institute of Biological Engineering (IBE) , American Society of Agricultural and
Biological Engineers (ASABE) and SPIE—The International Society for Optics
and Photonics. He currently serves as Associate Editor and Editorial Board
Members for numerous journals, including Transactions of the ASABE, Biological
Engineering Transactions, Journal of Biological Engineering, and Resource
Magazine. Dr. Yoon has published ~50 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
