Abstract
Biosensors are playing an important role in shaping the world of medical,
pharmaceutical, agricultural, and environmental monitoring; they have transformed the way by
which qualitative and quantitative determination of biological process was proceeding. Now,
their role has shifted the sophisticated and laborious analysis of biomolecules in laboratory to
point of care (POC) devices. POC devices have made it possible to detect any abnormality in
biological processes without special expertise. ‘P4 Medicine’, which is predictive, personalized,
preventive, and participatory has increased the demand for new biosensors in the form of
wearable, implantable or ingestible devices (Zucolotto, 2020). For instance, the most common
example of biosensor, which is available almost in every house, is a glucose monitor. However,
other low-cost, portable, disposable, point-of-care biosensors with higher specificity, selectivity,
and lower detection limit are still not massively available. Moreover, the manufacturing of
biosensors requires scalability in order to increase its availability for the masses. To encounter
this problem a method is required by which a biosensor can be produced in a simplified way...
