Immunosensors in biology and medicine: Analytical capabilities, problems, and prospects

Abstract

The current status of research in immunosensors was considered. Primary attention was focused on electrochemical, piezoelectric, and optical immunosensors. The analytical capabilities of these devices were discussed. The applicability of these immunosensors to solving various analytical problems in medicine and pharmacology in particular, was demonstrated. The prospects for the further development of immunosensor technologies were shown. © 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
