Resumo

BIOSENSORS CONSTRUCTION.The use of sol-gel materials to develop new biosensors has received great attention due to its characteristics and versatility of sol-gel process.An overview is presented of the state-of-the-art of electrochemical biosensors employing sol-gel materials.Lowtemperature, porous sol-gel ceramics represent a new class for the immobilization of biomolecules.The rational design of solgel sensing materials, based on the judicious choice of the starting alkoxide, encapsulated reagents, and preparation conditions, allows tailoring of material properties in a wide range, and offers great potential for the development of electrochemical biosensors.
