Printed electronics-based biosensors

Abstract

Printed electronics have attracted enormous interest owing to their large production capability, low cost, and environmentally friendly properties. Printed electronics-based biosensors have also achieved increasing attention in different domains that range from laboratory to home for many applications. They will be necessary for the implementation of next-generation platforms due to printing simplifies the fabrication of platforms on several thin, rigid, and/or flexible substrates. Moreover, the printed electronics-based biosensors show an excellent chance to facilitate fast, sensitive, and real-time screening of several molecules to exploit their features. Printing technology has strong impacts to assemble more customizable and simpler production of biosensors with great resolution and combination with microfluidic and electronics systems. This review is a summary of recent progress in printed electronics-based biosensors to produce various electronic devices and circuits and also supplies a review of the properties of printed electronics-based biosensors in different applications. In the end, up-to-date experiments of the latest studies of the printed electronics-based biosensors for various target molecules is reported.
