ABSTRACT
Biosensors offer a good alternative to conventional methodologies in pesticide analysis due to their high sensitivity and selectivity. They have two especially useful properties: (i) They can be carried out for use in the fi eld and (ii) they can work with complete automation and produce results after a short period. Thus, they are a good alternative to the conventional techniques in specifi c places where they can reach easily, for example in the fi eld or in the hands of the initial manufacturer. Furthermore, they also represent a good complementary tool that can be used as screening methods.
