Graphene-based biosensor technologies

Graphene is a novel material that is a two-dimensional honey comb crystalline single layer of the carbon lattice. Due to the high electron mobility, high specific surface area, quantum Hall effect, and upstanding electric conductivity of graphene, it is also an ideal material for the construction of various types of biosensors. This chapter overviews the implementation of a novel material "graphene" and graphene-based nanomaterials into the biosensor technologies by presenting its importance with numerous applications on various analytes such as nucleic acids, glucose, cholesterol, hydrogen peroxide, dopamine, proteins, and other different small (bio)molecules. © 2016 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
