Analytical Applications of Immobilized Enzyme Reactors

In the search for better analytical precision, accuracy, and versatility, chemists and researchers are constantly experimenting with new and unusual techniques. One such successful technique that has been developed recently involves the use of enzymes as biocatalysts. Here, the enzymes are stabilized and packed into small columns to produce immobilized enzyme reactors. With the wide range of enzymes available it is possible to design the reactor to produce a specific product which is amenable to a chosen detection system. The aim of this new book is to provide a guide to the uses and applications of immobilized enzyme reactors, from an international perspective. This book should be of interest to analysts, researchers and chemists working in pharmaceutical chemistry, biochemistry, clinical chemistry and biomedicine.
