Abstract

To prevent the outbreaks of foodborne diseases, early detection of common pathogens is necessary. This can be achieved by using field deployable biosensors. In this chapter, traditional laboratory-based assays are discussed: culture plating and colony counting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Subsequent efforts to make these laboratory assays into field-deployable biosensors are discussed, specifically using the lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms, paper microfluidics, and smartphones.
