The aim of the present editorial is to briefly summarize the current scientific and technological accomplishments in the field of organic electronic biosensors as described in the articles published in this Special Issue. By definition, a biosensor is a robust analytical device that combines a biological recognition element (e.g., antibodies, enzymes, cells) with a transducer. Organic electronic bio-devices are considered as potentially reliable substitutes of conventional and rather expensive analytical techniques employed for several applications such as medical diagnosis, food safety and environment pollution monitoring. Some insights into the selection and immobilization of recognition elements, signal amplification, fabrication techniques and analytical performance of biosensing devices will be presented.
本社论的目的是简要总结本期特刊中所发表的文章中有机电子生物传感器领域的当前科学和技术成就。根据定义，生物传感器是一种将生物识别元件（例如抗体、酶、细胞）与换能器结合在一起的强大分析设备。有机电子生物器件被认为是传统且昂贵的分析技术的潜在可靠替代品，可用于多种应用，如医疗诊断、食品安全和环境污染监测。本文将介绍对识别元件的选择和固定、信号放大、制造技术和生物传感设备的分析性能的一些见解。
