Biosensors have been under development for over 35 years and research in this field has become very popular for 15 years. Electrochemical biosensors are the oldest of the breed, yet sensors for only one analyte (glucose) have achieved widespread commercial success at the retail level. This perspective provides some cautions related to expectations for biosensors, the funding of science, and the wide gap between academic and commercial achievements for sensor research. The goal of this commentary is not to arrive at any particular truth, but rather to stimulate lively discussion.
生物传感器已经研发了35年有余,该领域的研究在过去15年里变得非常热门。电化学生物传感器是这类传感器中最古老的,但在零售层面,仅有针对一种分析物(葡萄糖)的传感器取得了广泛的商业成功。这篇评论文章就生物传感器的预期、科学资金以及传感器研究在学术成就和商业成就之间的巨大差距提出了一些警示。这篇评论文章的目的不是要得出任何特定的真理,而是要激发热烈的讨论。
