Abstract
Biosensors are target-specific affinity based analytical tools. Their applications
are vast in areas such as clinical diagnosis, food quality, environment monitoring
and in other fields as well where timely and reliable analysis are required. Biosensing
technology is gradually developing to produce nove.l biosensors for point-of-care
diagnosis. The involvement of new advancements such as aptamer-based technologies
and nano-bioelectronic technologies have great potentialto lead to the development
of next generation biosensors with improved sensitivity, specificity, portability
and cost effectiveness.
This review emphasizes several aspects of biosensors such as their classification,
mechanism involved and their biomedical applications.
