target-DNA guanine base as well as products of enzyme labels, thus providing a huge ben-
efit for the development of PCR-free electrochemical DNA sensors.
The future perspective of CNT-based electrochemical biosensors is bright. To further
envisage a variety of applications of CNT-based biosensors, better methods to control the
chemical and physical properties of CNT and theoretically understand their phenomena
are desired. Based on the recent advances in this field, real applications of CNT-based elec-
trochemical biosensor can be expected in the near future.
