چکیده
The biosensor field has grown enormously since the first demonstration of the biosensor concept by Leland C. Clark Jr. in 1962. Today’s biosensor market is dominated by glucose biosensors, mass-produced enzyme-electrodes for the rapid self-diagnosis of blood glucose levels by diabetes sufferers. Here we take a historical look at the inception, growth, and development of the enzyme biosensor field from a strong commercial viewpoint. The current status of the technology is evaluated and future trends in this dynamic and fast-moving field are also anticipated.

متن کاملEnzyme-Based Fluorescent Biosensors and Their Environmental, Clinical and Industrial Applications
Enzyme-based fluorescence biosensors and their applications in environmental protection, medicine, and industry are described. Biosensors used in environmental protection measure toxicity effects. A chemical compound or group of compounds is detected by the recognition of molecules in the receptor layer and then by detecting a signal passing through the transducer layer. Biosensors are classifi...
متن کاملAu nanospheres and nanorods for enzyme-free electrochemical biosensor applications.
Au nanocrystals with different morphologies were prepared and used for enzyme-free electrochemical biosensor applications. To investigate the electrocatalytic properties of Au nanocrystals as a function on their morphologies, Au nanocrystals, Au nanospheres (NSs) on silica, Au NSs, and Au nanorods (NRs) with aspect ratios of 1:3 and 1:5, were coated on the screen printed electrodes and further ...
متن کاملEnzyme-based Electrochemical Biosensors
A biosensor can be defined as a device incorporating a biological sensing element connected to a transducer to convert an observed response into a measurable signal, whose magnitude is proportional to the concentration of a specific chemical or set of chemcials (Eggins 1996). According to the receptor type, biosensors can be classified as enzymatic biosensors, genosensors, immunosensors, etc. B...
