Abstract
The term biosensor appeared in the 1960s to define the use of bio electrodes involving enzyme electrodes that presented and bio catalytic activity. In 1962, brought the very rudimentary model of biosensors forward with the early invention of an oxygen electrode in which the electrochemical detection of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide could be used for a broad choice of bio analytical purposes.
