The technology supporting the development of electrochemical biosensors is a high-interest area for current research programs. Broad interdisciplinary skills are required for the design and construction of these devices. To provide a brief overview of these biosensors, it is helpful to (1) define what is meant by a biosensor and (2) explain the attributes and properties of an effective sensor. The detection approach is electrochemical in origin. This technical discipline constitutes an area of specialization in its own right. The applicable biomaterials and how they produce detection signals brings together biochemical sciences with electrochemical phenomena. Finally, a discussion of the immobilization technologies is presented, which yields a useful biosensor that is a significant materials science development effort. Also, a list of references is presented that can lead the reader to current texts and major review articles addressing the technology in greater detail.
