Mini/micro thermal biosensors and other related devices for biochemical/clinical analysis and monitoring

• The present review discusses the recent developments in the design, fabrication and implementation of mini/micro thermal biosensors for biochemical/clinical analysis and monitoring. The principle of thermometric sensing and recent developments in microfabrication technology are introduced, followed by their adaptation to thermometric devices. The instrumentation of the mini, micro and multisensing thermometric devices are described followed by their application to a variety of biochemical/clinical analyses. Other developments in material design and hybrid devices for thermometric sensing are also mentioned.
