Abstract
Biosensor technology can circumvent the limitations while retaining almost all the advantages of laboratory-based diagnostics. Biosensors are analytical devices that involve integration between a molecular recognition platform with a physicochemical transducer to produce a single detection processing unit. The suitability of biosensors is evaluated by a set of parameters based on the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry guidelines, which include specificity, selectivity, limit of detection, and sensitivity. Electrochemical biosensors for dengue detection have become the overwhelming method of choice among researchers due to their ability to be highly quantitative and qualitative. Much attention is placed on the transducer surface selection, which immobilizes the biorecognition element. Antibodies, which are amongst the most exquisitely designed and engineered molecules in nature, play a vital role in a number of sensor devices, due to their exquisite target specificity and affinity. Antibodies are ideal biorecognition elements that provide sensors with high specificity and sensitivity.
