Abstract

Electrochemical sensors based on carbon nanotubes are widely distributed in biomedical researches. One group of these sensors contains the sensors manufactured by dispersion of carbon nanotubes on an electrode surface by means of polyethyleneimine, organic dyes, cyclodextrins, chitosan, proteins, room-temperature ionic liquids, gels, thiols, by electropolymerization process, and by layer-by-layer deposition. The development directions of such sensors are analyzed. The general information on manufacturing techniques of these sensors is submitted. The opportunities of these sensors for carrying out biomedical researches are demonstrated.
