“…A variety of signal transduction techniques have been incorporated in the biosensor design, such as optical (Broude, 2002;Christel et al, 2002) and electrochemical transducer (Willner et al, 1999;Drummond et al, 2003;Fan et al, 2003;Boal and Barton, 2005;Wong and Gooding, 2006). Owing to the fact that electrochemical detectors are simple, portable, sensitive, fast response and low cost, electrochemical DNA biosensors have been recognized to be a promising way for diagnostic purpose as well as environmental and antibioterrorism monitoring Bard, 2003, 2004).…”
