Biosensors have been hailed as the solution to many analytical problems in a wide range of industries. The heterogeneity of the proposed markets is equalled by that of the technologies called 'biosensors'. The many research groups worldwide are prolific in their publication of research papers and patents. Clearly, the field is not limited by a lack of information regarding the fundamental technology. However, there are, as yet, few successful commercial biosensor products available. The principle constraints on the commercial realization of such products concern the technical and manufacturing feasibility, market development and investment strategies. Whilst commercially viable biosensors will certainly emerge eventually, the timescale is longer than many would wish.
生物传感器被誉为解决众多行业中诸多分析问题的方案。拟议市场的异质性与所谓“生物传感器”技术的异质性相当。全球众多研究团队在研究论文和专利的发表方面成果丰硕。显然，该领域并不受基础技术信息匮乏的限制。然而，目前成功的商业生物传感器产品却寥寥无几。此类产品商业化实现的主要制约因素涉及技术和制造可行性、市场开发及投资策略。虽然最终肯定会出现具有商业可行性的生物传感器，但所需时间比许多人期望的要长。
