Abstract

Fast diagnosis of disease is especially crucial in certain illnesses. Biological compound detection methods, equipment, and processes have been of great interest in the determination of the early level of diseases. Electroanalytical methods are frequently studied by researchers to investigate biomarkers or other important biological compounds due to their excellent properties such as easy usage, no need for pretreatment steps, fast response, and inexpensive equipment. In line with the increasing interest in nanotechnology, sensors development has also gained much interest. In this chapter, metal nanoclusters have been explained to develop biosensors in detail. They are preferred due to their excellent features such as optical, mechanical, physical, and chemical. Metal nanomaterials-based sensors have been presented by electrochemical methods to determine important compounds.
