Course Objective

In this lesson, analysis principles of parametrs caused environmental pollution with providing a rapid and much cheaper analysis at their location will be taught, a lot of subtances can be determined in a very short time and also quite selective with sensors combining with electrochemical sensors and what are the problems today in terms of its use in medicine and in the future, which will be designed to be kept at the forefront of sensors which parameters will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have a comprehensive understanding on how can use electrochemistry in bioanalaytical chemistry applications for biosensors aimed to sensitive determinations
2   Be able to understand newer advances in in vivo biosensors and to develop specific methods
3   Be able to make a strategic plans to determine target analyte by in vivo biosensors
4   Be able to design and develop biomaterial immobilization strategies for organic phase biosensors
5   To be develop a biosensor for monitoring and follow up of environmental events
6   To be understand importance of the use of biosensors in the field of environment, biotechnology and medicine
7   To be gained ability to further development of their interest areas with the help of throughout the course of things learned in this important field and additional activities
