9. Analog sensors M easures a physical quantity or phenomenon and provides an output signal . In other words, Analog sensors provide an output signal that varies continuously with changes in the measured parameter. The analog quantities that are known to be continuous in nature include ; speed, pressure, displacement, strain, and temperature. For instance, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature of a liquid. By obtaining continuous readings, the analog sensor will respond immediately to any changes that occur in the temperature of the liquid as its heats up or cools down.

10. T here are many types of analog sensors, among the most common type is a pressure sensor, which is commonly used in industrial and lab settings to manage the pressure of liquids or gases. These sensors will act as transducers by generating a signal when pressure is imposed.

Example of Biosensor Before proceeding further with different types of Biosensors and applications of Biosensor, let us look at a simple example of a Biosensor: The Glucometer Diabetes is a disease characterized by the levels of glucose in the blood. Regularly checking the blood glucose levels is very important for diabetes patients. Glucometers are a type Biosensors, which measure the concentration of glucose in blood. Usually, they consists of a test strip, which collect a small sample of blood to analyze the glucose levels.

43. The test strip consists of a trigger electrode and a reference electrode. When blood is placed on the test strip, a simple chemical reaction takes place and an electrical current is generated, which is directly proportional to the concentration of glucose. Internally, the Glucometer consists of a powerful processor like a Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 along with current to voltage converter, amplifier, filter and a display unit.
