Non-traditional electrode materials for detection of biomarkers

Abstract

In this paper, new electrochemical methods suitable for detection of various types of biomarkers (biomarkers of exposition, tumor biomarkers, and biomarkers of medical treatment) are briefly reviewed. Attention is paid to the use of non-traditional electrode materials (various forms of amalgam electrodes, boron doped diamond film electrodes, carbon paste and carbon film electrodes, etc.) for voltammetric (batch analysis) and amperometric (flowing systems) detection of above mentioned biomarkers.
