| biosensor | 1. <apparatus> A sensor that collects data about a biological or physiological process, such as blood pressure. Any of a variety of types of biomolecular probes which measure the presence or concentration of biological molecules, biological structures, microorganisms, etc., by translating a biochemical interaction at the probe surface into a quantifiable physical signal. 2. <biology, physiology> The coupling of a biological material (for example, enzyme, receptor, antibody, whole cell, organelle) with a microelectronic system or device to enable rapid, accurate, low level detection of various substances in body fluids, water, and air. (03 Jul 1999) |
|---|---|
| bioseries | <genetics> A series of recognisable evolutionary changes in a single inheritable characteristic. (13 Nov 1997) |
| bioside | <biochemistry> A sugar such as sucrose, which is made up of two monosaccharides: one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule. Two common disaccharides are sucrose and lactose. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biosis | Life, in a general sense. Origin: G. Biosis, way of living (05 Mar 2000) |
| biosocial | Involving the interplay of biological and social influences. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biosorption | <chemistry> The removal of metal ions or organic compounds from solution by microorganisms. The goal of biosorption may be the removal of heavy metals from industrial waste water, the purification of precious metals such as gold or silver, or the removal of pollutants from soil. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biospectrometry | Spectroscopic determination of the types and amounts of various substances in living tissue or fluid from a living body. Synonym: clinical spectrometry. Origin: bio-+ L. Spectrum, an image, + G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| biospectroscopy | Spectroscopic examination of specimens of living tissue, including fluids removed therefrom. Synonym: clinical spectroscopy. Origin: bio-+ L. Spectrum, image, + G. Skopeo, to examine (05 Mar 2000) |
| biospeleology | The study of organisms whose natural habitat is wholly or partly subterranean. Origin: bio-+ G. Speliaion, cave (05 Mar 2000) |
| biosphere | <ecology> All the regions of the world where living organisms occur. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biostabiliser | <agriculture> A type of composting system which involves tumbling moist soil waste in a drum until the material becomes a fine-grained, dark compost. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biostasis | <biology> The ability of an organism to tolerate changes in its environment without having to adapt to them. Origin: Gr. Stasis = stoppage (09 Oct 1997) |
| biostat | <ecology> A container in which the organisms in a medium (such as lake water) are monitored and measured. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biostatics | <biology> The physical phenomena of organised bodies, in opposition to their organic or vital phenomena. Origin: Gr. Life + . See Statics. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| biostatistics | <study> The use of statistics to analyse biological data. (09 Oct 1997) |

| biotin |
A small molecule that binds with high affinity to avidin and streptavidin. Biotin is used to label nucleic acids and proteins that may be subsequently detected by avidin or streptavidin linked to a fluorescent or enzymatic reporter molecule.
