Abstract
As stated at the beginning of this volume, the term “biosensor” refers to sensors that use biomolecules in the molecular recognition or transduction processes. Although there have been many proposals to use fiberoptic biosensors in vivo, almost all the work to date has been in vitro. In the more general class of fiberoptic chemical sensors, in vivo applications have progressed further. Intravascular fiberoptic blood-gas chemical sensors have been developed and are currently undergoing clinical evaluation.
