Biomedical field applications of electrochemical biosensors as diagnostic tools: A short review

Abstract

Electrochemical biosensors are preferred in many areas due to their advantages, such as high sensitivity, miniaturization, low cost, and versatility. Early and accurate diagnosis of diseases is the primary step in preventing the spread and progression of the disease and in applying the proper treatment options, which is possible thanks to diagnostic biomarkers. In this context, electrochemical biosensors are practical and effective tools for rapidly and reliably determining biomarkers. Many studies are in the literature due to the versatility of electrochemical biosensors and the ability to improve performance through integration with fields such as nanotechnology and molecular imprinting technology. This short review highlights the most recent and interesting studies on this subject and provides insight into future developments.
