“This book is fairly comprehensive in its coverage and provides useful insights into a multitude of unique research endeavors beyond biosensors and sandwich assays. These insights include an extensive discussion devoted to the relevance of analytes at varying molecular levels, fundamentals, and developments in complementary and utilitarian detection techniques, as well as materials science considerations.” (Susana Campuzano, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 410, 2018)
