and the food industry. For example, biosensors can be used for rapid detection of
foodborne pathogens, such as E. Coli and Salmonella, which are a major problem
when importing foreign food into a country (Yoon and Kim 2012). This comprehensive book, however, solely focuses on the latest updates on BioMEMS in their
major biosensing applications. Figure 1.2 shows some of the major applications of
BioMEMS and an example for each field (Fig. 1.3).
