3.1 Introduction
In this chapter we analyze the different types of biosensor fabrication procedures that have
recently appeared in the literature. Though fabrication of glucose biosensors still remains
an important area of investigation (as a large share of the market is for biosensors in this
area), the fabrication of biosensors for the detection of other analytes of interest will be pres-
ented in this chapter. Some of the recent methods of biosensor fabrication include:
(a)
fabrication of a glucose biosensor based on a novel nanocomposite structure (
Safavi
et al., 2009
),
(b)
fabrication of a microbial glucose biosensor using a screen-oriented water-based carbon
ink and its application in serum analysis (
Pemberton et al., 2009
),
(c)
a potentiometric protein sensor built by the surface molecular imprinting method
(
Wang et al., 2008
),
(d)
fabrication of a molecularly imprinted polymer microarray on a chip by mid-infrared
laser pulse initiated polymerization (
Henry et al., 2008
),
(e)
fabrication and characterization of an indium tin oxide (ITO)-polyaniline biosensor
(
Tahir et al., 2007
),
(f)
a novel biosensor fabrication methodology based on processable conducting polyaniline
nanoparticles (
Morrin et al., 2005a,b
),
(g)
fabrication of a photometric dip-strip test system for the detection of
b
(1-3)-
D
-glucan
using crude
b
(1-3)-
D
-glucanase from sprouts of
Vigna aconitifolia
(
Bagal-Kestwal
et al., 2009
),
(h) screen-printing fabrication method for DNA chips with electrical readout for the detec-
tion of viral DNA (
Schuler et al., 2009
),
(i) characterization and fabrication of disposable screen-printed microelectrodes (
Kadara
et al., 2009
),
( j) fabrication of optical fiber imaging sensors using inkjet printing technology (
Carter
et al., 2006
),
(k) fabrication of a highly sensitive penicillin sensor based on a charge transfer technique
(
Lee et al., 2009
),
(l) an overview of the biosensor manufacturing process (
Biodot, biosensor introduction,
2009
),
(m) manufacturing method for a biosensor and biosensing apparatus (
Gu et al., 2009
),
(n)
introduction to biosensor technology (2008).
(o)
the fabrication of a highly sensitive glucose biosensor using an osmium complex and
glucose oxidase (GOD) immobilized onto carbon nanotube (CNT) modified electrodes
(
Salimi et al., 2009
),
(p)
fabrication of a porous silicon-based biosensor (
Matthew and Alocilja, 2003
),
(q)
low cost silicon nanowire biosensors using recrystallization technologies (
Ashburn and
Sun, 2009
),
