Abstract

This chapter focuses on the recent developments in the electrochemical biosensor. On the onset historical aspects of biosensors have been discussed followed by the current state of the art, which includes the fabrication, immobilization of the receptors and the linking chemistry, sensitivity, specificity, and target detection species. The importance of the electrode platform is outlined and classified into porous and nonporous. The sensor reported on various platforms has been reviewed.
