Project: Electroanalytical Biosensors: Recommended Definitions and Classification (revised title)

Objective

The rapid proliferation of biosensors and their diversity has led to a lack of precision in terminology and rigor in the definition of performance criteria. Although each biosensor can only truly be evaluated for a particular application, it is the aim of this report to establish a classification system for electrochemical biosensors and standard protocols for their performance criteria.

Progress

The draft of the final document was reviewed by the members of Commissions I.7 and V.5, by four editors of leading journals and fourteen experts in this field of research. Their comments have been incorporated in the final document which have been revised during Berlin General assembly. A final and revised manuscript of the report is been submitted to Pure and Applied Chemistry in February 2000.
