Advantages of Biosensors(in comparison with traditional analytical methods)
• Fast detection (minutes)• Fast response (seconds)• High sensitivity (typically nM, improved
sensitivity with nanoparticles pM and better)• High selectivity• Easy preparation and operation• Miniature• Reusable• Low cost (Typically less then 10 EUR/sensor)

Nucleic acids as sensing elements
The main role of DNA –storage of genetic Information
DNA is composed of twocomplementary chains
B-form DNA – double helix

APTAMERS• are single stranded RNA or DNA with high
affinity to proteins or other compounds• comparable affinity with antibodies• aptamers can recognize protein isoforms• aptamers can be chemically modified by
thiol groups or biotin, that allowing them to attach to the solid surface
• This system can be used as a biosensor for detection proteins in complex biological liquids
