Mesoporous silica materials for use in electrochemical immunosensing

Abstract

Silica-based electrochemical immunosensors recently gained much importance for detecting antigens and biomarkers responsible for cancer diagnosis. This review describes fabrication and chemical modification of the surfaces of mesoporous silica materials for biomedical and immunosensing applications. We also present a comprehensive overview of current developments and key issues in the determination of some biological molecules with particular emphasis on evaluating the models.
