Abstract:

The combination of modern electrochemical systems along with screen printing technology give an amazing chance for the introduction of potential and powerful analytical tools for efficient monitoring and analysis of pharmaceuticals, biomarkers and metabolites, environmental and food pollutants. Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) can successfully address the time constraints associated with the conventional laboratory analysis. The adaptability and low-cost of this technology is accountable for its nonstop expansion and the continuous grow within the SPEs field to discover new areas of applications. Their improvements mainly will depend on incorporating new printed materials, new ligands, new polymers, further nanostructure materials and new supports. Recently, SPEs are coupled to biomolecules with the assistance of modern electroanalytical techniques and offers an excellent chance for therapeutic drug monitoring. In this work, detailed description of the elementary fabrication principles, the different designs of SPEs and the different analytical methods that are based on SPEs will be presented. Special emphasis is given on the electrochemical application of SPEs in pharmaceuticals analysis, their recent designs and the future perceptions.
