Advanced nanomaterials indubitably represent one of the most propitious class of new materials due to
their intriguing optical, electronic and redox properties. The incredible progress achieved in this research area has
been propelled by the development of novel synthetic procedures owing to the emergence of nanotechnology and
by the wide range of applications. These nanostructured materials possess high surface area, biocompatibility,
nontoxicity and charge-sensitive conductance which have led to the development of simple, rapid, highly
sensitive, inexpensive and portable electrochemical genosensors. This review accentuates on the development and
validation of various advanced nanomaterials based electrochemical genosensors that utilize unique properties of
nanomaterials for signal transduction purpose or as an electroactive species for direct detection of analyte. The
intent is to highlight the recent progress on highly sensitive and flexible nanostructured material based
electrochemical genosensors that have the potential to be developed as the next generation field-deployable
analytical tools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
