Latest developments in non-faradic impedimetric biosensors: Towards clinical applications

The field of capacitive biosensors has grown significantly since the last comprehensive assessment by Daniels et al. in 2007. Here we how new trends in molecular imprinting, nanotechnology and microfluidics are now being exploited and demonstrate how capacitive biosensors are on the verge of becoming clinically relevant. We also shed light on recent developments in terms of test-setup, surface chemistry and test solutions. •Quick access to the basic concepts of the capacitive sensors.•Perspective on the development of test-setups and surface chemistries utilized.•Overview of the most recent technologies implemented into research field.
