In "Uses of Immobilized Biological Compounds" the reader will find a comprehensive survey of the field written by experts who met in Brixen, Italy, between May 9 and 14, 1993 for a NATO Advanced Research Workshop devoted to the topic. The resulting volume presents a critical review of the latest results in the area and sets guidelines for future research. The 53 reports presented here cover: General Aspects of Immobilizing Biological Compounds; Medical, Clinical and Pharmaceutical Applications; Electrochemical Biosensors; Defense Applications; Immunosensors and Receptors; Food, Environmental, Clinical and Analytical Applications; and Biotechnology and Marketing. All aspects of the area are presented, in a compact format which should appeal to undergraduates, technicians, and professional scientists in the food, clinical, environmental, pharmaceutical and industrial fields.
