This paper describes a new constructing method of multifunctional biosensor using many kinds of biomaterials. A metal particle and an array was fabricated by photolithographic. Biomaterials were immobilized on the metal particle. The array and the particles were mixed in a buffer solution, and were arranged by magnetic force interaction and random fluidic self-assembly. A quarter of total Ni dots were covered by the particles. The binding direction of the particles was controllable, and condition of particles was almost with Au surface on top. The particles were successfully arranged on the array. The biomaterial activities were detected by chemiluminescence and electrochemical methods.

The determination of DNA hybridization can apply the molecular biology research, clinic diagnostics, bioengineering, environment monitoring, food science and other application area. So, The determination of hybridization is very important for the improvement of DNA detection system. In this study, we report the characterization of the DNA hybridization by the electricalchemical methods. A new electrochemical biosensor is described for voltammetric detection of gene sequence related to probe oligonucleotide of bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7. The biosensor involves the immobilization of a 18-mer probe oligonucleotide, which is complemetary to a specific gene sequence related to Escherichia coli O157:H7 on a gold electrode through specific adsorption. The probe oligonucleotide was used to determine the amount of target oligonucleotide in solution using mitoxantrone(MTX) as the electrochemical indicators. The cathodic peak currents $(I_{peak})$ of MTX were linearly related to the concentration of the target oligonucleotide sequence in the range $1[{\mu}M]{\sim}0.1[nM]$. The detection limit of this approach was 0.01[nM]. In addition, these indicators were capable of selectivity discriminating against various mismatching condition.

A biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was constructed by immobilizing of porcine small instestinal tissue in a plain carbon paste, and the effect of varying the $H_2O_2$ concentration and pH on the rate of catalytic reaction was evaluated. For the mathematical simplicity, no mediator was added. Electrochemical properties and the maximal rate could be derived from the quantitative analysis of the observed phenomena related to the electrode reaction. Also, pH dependence of the Michaelis constant enabled to calculate various thermodynamic parameters and subsequently to design a electrochemical method to determine the optimum pH of enzyme.

Among many kinds of bioaffinity sensors, the avidin-biotin system has been widely used in a variety of biological applications due to the specific and high affinity interaction of the system. In this work, gold nanorods with high surface area were explored as electrodes in order to amplify the signal response from the avidin-biotin interaction which can be further utilized for avidin-biotin biosensors. Electrochemical performance of electrodes modified with nanorods and functionalized with avidin in response to interactions with biotin at various concentrations using $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-/4-}$ couple as the redox probe were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A very low biotin concentration of less than 1 ng/mL could be detected using the electrodes modified with nanorods.

Among the many studies of carbon-based nanomaterials, carbon-based dots (CDs) have attracted considerable interest owing to their large surface area, intrinsic low-toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, high solubility, and low-cost with environmentally friendly routes, as well as their ability for modification with other nanomaterials. CDs have several applications in biosensing, photocatalysis, bioimaging, and nanomedicine. In addition, the fascinating electrochemical properties of CDs, including high active surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, electrocatalytic activity, high porosity, and adsorption capability, make them potential candidates for electrochemical sensing materials. This paper reviews the recent developments and synthesis of CDs and their composites for the proposed electrochemical sensing platforms. The electrochemical principles and future perspective and challenges of electrochemical biosensors are also discussed based on CDs-nanocomposites.

Screen printed carbon electrodes (SPEs) modified with co-immobilized osmium-based redox polymers can be used to apply multi-detecting biosensors. In this study, we report our initial studies of multi-detecting biosensor concepts using two osmium-based redox polymers for horseradish peroxidase-mediated reduction of ${H_2}{O_2}$ coupled to glucose oxidase-mediated oxidation of glucose. We target to synthesize two osmium redox polymers of potentials use, a chloride-containing redox polymer ($E^{O'}$ + 0.520 vs. Ag/AgCl) and a methoxy-containing redox polymer $E^{O'}$ + 0.150 vs. Ag/AgCl). The former show good catalytic electrical signals with horseradish peroxidase and the latter's redox polymer is to be an effective redox mediator of glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase.

A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) support with dual properties, an ionic property via tetra-amine and unpaired electrons via tri-amine, was prepared by radiation-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and the subsequent amination of its epoxy group. The electrochemical microbial biosensor (EMB) was then fabricated by immobilization of a microbe (Alkaligenes spp.) onto the dual property-modified electrode, which was prepared with the mixture of the MWNT support and a $Nafion^{(R)}$ solution on a glass carbon (GC) electrode surface by a hand-casting method. The sensing range of the prepared EMB for phenol in a phosphate buffer solution was 0.005~7.0 mM. The total concentration of phenolic compounds in a commercial red wine was also determined using the EMB.

When natural rubber dissolved in toluene comes into use as a binder of carbon powder, the volatilization of solvent just after the construction of biosensor brought the mechanical robustness on the paste. This characteristic satisfied the pre-requisite condition for the practical use of carbon paste electrode and a biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was designed. In order to evaluate its electrochemical qualitative and quantitative behaviors, various electrochemical kinetic parameters of the electrode, e.g. the symmetry factor (${\alpha}$, 0.37), the exchange current density ($i_0$, $0.075mAcm^{-2}$), the capacitance of double layer ($C_d$, $9.7{\times}10^{-3}F$), the time constant (${\tau}_A$, 0.92 s), the maximum current ($i_{max}$, $5.92{\times}10^{-7}Acm^{-2}$), the Michaelis constant ($K_M$, $1.99{\times}10^{-3}M$) and others were investigated. Results show that natural rubber is a promising binder of carbon powder.

This paper provides a review of the electrical sensing biosensors and examine research cases of biosensors based on clothing and textiels. A biosensor which can measure bio-signals is a device that senses the physical and chemical characteristics of biological materials by using biological sensing materials. Therefore, wellness wear that is closely integrated with the user's real life will play an important role in achieving U-Health. The biosensors' unique feature which can be differentiated from the existing sensors is it's using of selective reactions and binding of biological substances. The electrical sensing biosensors are very small in size due to the processing of electrical signals, which can be used to create ubiquitous. Therefore, it is necessary to study electrical sensing biosensors that are easy to miniaturize to develop wellness wear. This paper describes the electrical sensing biosensor (an electrochemical method nanowire/carbon nanotube FET method) in detail. Finally, the future direction of biosensors to be applied to wellness wear is suggested.
