Abstract

This chapter is a brief introduction to the biodetection field and provides a conceptual understanding of the capability of the current biodetection technologies. As many biodetector technologies have their origin in military applications, a very brief discussion about biological weapons is also included. Finally, the chapter addresses basic definitions and nomenclature that are used in the biodetection community.
