Some new aspects in biosensors

Abstract

This paper reviews recent advances in biosensors contributed mainly by our laboratory. The biosensors, based on the new immobilization materials — sol–gel organic–inorganic hybrid materials, cryohydrogel (or organohydrogel) and bilayer lipid membranes, are presented. The analytical performances of the biosensors are discussed. Applications of the biosensors in extreme environment are emphasized. A new generation of biosensors — surface plasmon resonance biosensors and capacitance biosensors, are also described.
