Although optical and electrochemical transducers are the two most popular transducers for biosensors, piezoelectric transducers have also gained some popularity in the past couple of decades. Like optical and electrochemical transducers, piezoelectric transducers can be used as-is as physical sensors (to sense mass), or used with bioreceptors as biosensors (to quantify biomolecules). Collectively they are called piezoelectric sensors.
