ABSTRACT

This chapter describes recent advances, by coupling with bioactive

enzyme labels, in electrochemical immunosensors and DNA sensors.

And some sophisticated analytical devices for electrochemical

immunosensors and DNA sensors, including potentiometry, amper-

ometry, impedimetry, and conductometry, based on various signal

generation principles from the antigen-antibody interaction and

DNA hybridization are introduced. Signal amplification associates

with the use of electroactive enzyme labels and electroenzymatic

nanolabels. It covers the basic principles and biomedical and clinic

applications of immunosensors and DNA sensors and indicates the

future prospects in this field.
