Biosensors offer several advantages in epidemiological studies:
Rapid Detection: They provide quick results, which is crucial for timely intervention in disease outbreaks. High Sensitivity and Specificity: Biosensors are highly specific to the target analyte and can detect even low concentrations. Portability: Many biosensors are compact and portable, allowing for on-site testing. Cost-Effectiveness: They can be more affordable compared to traditional laboratory methods.
