Most important requirements to preserve the bioreceptor functionality
| Biorecognition layer (complexity order increases to the bottom) | Main requests for functional integrity (the needs usually add up to the bottom) | |
|---|---|---|
| Single molecule | Aptamer / ion carrier (ionophore) | Appropriate withholding |
| Antibody / DNA | pH and saline stability | |
| Enzyme / high molecular weigh protein | Absence of certain poisoning products (e.g. heavy metals) | |
| Membrane receptor | Mechanic protection | |
| Organelle (chloroplast, mitochondrion, etc) | Appropriate osmotic pressure, oxygen | |
| Cell | Nutrients | |
| Tissue | ||
| Organ | Undamaged tissue | |
