6.

Biosensor is an analytical device included a recognition part (bioreceptor) and transducers to detect target molecule. Learn more in: Molecularly-Imprinted Nanomaterial-Based Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors in Molecular Diagnosis

7.

It refers to an analytical device able to detect, record and transmit information regarding physiological/biological change or process (e.g., blood pressure, etc.). Some other indicative applications relate to the detection of body movement, temperature and fluid analysis, which are turned into electrical signals. In summary, it converts a biological response into an electrical signal. The biosensor is made up of a biological recognition element (e.g., an enzyme, a nucleic acid, or an antibody) and a transducer (to convert the recognition event into a measurable signal).
