Microneedles-based electrochemical sensors: New tools for advanced biosensing

Publication date: 1 Ott 2019

Source: LEGACY

Electrochemical biosensors are used worldwide as analytical tools from laboratory applications to market products. The performance of electrochemical sensing can be boosted by adopting the microneedle (MN) geometry as an innovative configuration of standard electrodes. MNs can be miniaturized, easily functionalized, and properly designed for specific aim monitoring, but most of all, they allow a low invasive controlling tool for growth and for environment influence in plant and a painless door to human body fluids where target analytes can be detected, overcoming the natural barrier of the skin. In this review, the very recent developments in MN-based electrochemical biosensing published in the literature are summarized.
