A Review on Electrochemical Biosensors: Principles and Applications

Electrochemical sensors for multiple analytes were the first scitifically proposed as well as commersialised biosensors. Electrochemical biosensors have been studied for a long time. Presently, typical platform of transducers based on semiconductors and screen printed electrodes is in practice for construction of biosensors. Among all biocomponents enzymes or enzyme labeled antibodies are prese...

The Principles and Recent Applications of Bioelectrocatalysis

Bioelectrocatalysis is a phenomenon concerned with biological catalysts, which accelerate the electrochemical reactions. Bioelectrocatalysis has been widely explored by the research community in various directions. Enzymes can catalyze different chemical reactions in living organisms by enzymes as the most important biological catalysts. These enzymatic biocatalysts are commercially available a...

Plasmonic biosensors with biocompatible nanosilver

The plasmonic properties of noble metal nanoparticles facilitate their use in novel in-vivo bio-applications such as targeted drug delivery and cancer cell therapy. Nanosilver is best suited for such applications as it has the lowest plasmonic losses among all such materials in the UVvisible spectrum. Its toxicity, however, can destroy the surrounding healthy tissue and thus, hinders its safe e...
