The field of designing and developing instruments and tools for studying, measuring, or monitoring biological systems and living organisms.
From bioinstrument plus -ation suffix. This field emerged in the late 1900s as biotechnology advanced and scientists needed increasingly sophisticated tools to study life at all scales.
Bioinstrumentation gave us the tools that made CRISPR gene-editing and personalized medicine possible—the instruments are often as revolutionary as the discoveries they enable.
