Abstract

The recent development of a vast number of new immunosensor systems reflects the increasing demand for sensitive and efficient screening tools in the fields of environmental, agricultural, pharmaceutical, food, and clinical chemistry. Based on the highly specific interaction of an antibody with its corresponding antigen, mostly the target analyte, immunosensors offer a high selectivity for a single component or a whole class of compounds, even at trace levels. Thus they can help monitor human exposure to hazardous chemicals in water, food, or the environment.
