Abstract

Biosensors are nowadays ubiquitous in biomedical diagnosis as well as a wide range of other areas such as point-of-care monitoring of treatment and disease progression, environmental monitoring, food control, drug discovery, forensics and biomedical research. A wide range of techniques can be used for the development of biosensors. Their coupling with high affinity biomolecules allows the sensitive and selective detection of a range of analytes.
We here give a general introduction to biosensors and biosensing technologies, including a brief historical overview, introducing key developments in the field and illustrate the breadth of biomolecular sensing strategies and the expansion of nanotechnological approaches that are now available.
