Piezoelectric Biosensors for Organophosphate and Carbamate Pesticides: A Review

Due to the great amount of pesticides currently being used, there is an increased interest for developing biosensors for their detection. Among all the physical transducers, piezoelectric systems have emerged as the most attractive due to their simplicity, low instrumentation costs, possibility for...
