We deal with development of new trends on biosensors for clinical, forensics and environmental purposes. The main set of devices are constructed with electrochemical sensors based on voltammetric, amperometric, potentiometric, etc techniques.
Some electrodes as carbon paste, High Oriented Pirolitic Carbon, Glass Carbon, gold, platinum, etc are used with physical and chemical modification to get crucial analytical characteristics for importants features in chemical analyses.
