Summary


Probing in micro world using electrochemical microsensors, progress and challenge will be covered in this special issue. Electrochemical microsensors have been studied for the last 3 decades as highly sensitive and selective yet relatively inexpensive device to probe micro world for applications ranging from chemical and biological sensing to clinical and medical care. This wide range of applications is due to electrochemical microsensors high sensitivity, selectivity, fast response time and low manufacture cost. In this special issue different electrochemical sensors and their applications will be described.

Keywords
