“…After ii) rather dull period in the late seventies, the first prototypes of chemically [67,68] and biologically [72] modified CPEs came to the fore, initiating iii) the first boom in the eighties and resulting in the appearance of carbon paste electrodes over the whole world. Activities of research groups in America (e.g., [111,199,213,216]) and Europe [72,89,197,240,324] continued; nevertheless, iv) the up-coming nineties spawned new individualities and teams in China [16,92,157,250,289,302], Japan [70,71,124,178], Korea [93,100], former U.S.S.R [11,269,274], Spain [87,89,117,293] or Brazil [325]), whose contributions to the field have become soon as significant as those of the already existing research centers. The following years can be characterized in a similar way; however, with particular emphasis on the increasing dominance of CPbiosensors [14] through the nineties and beyond the commencement of a new millennium [18,20].…”
