A review. Electrochem. and optical biosensors exist to monitor different fluids contg. analytes of interest. Until today, these have been developed sep. Owing to the creation of new transducer configurations such as indium tin-coated glass fiber optics, these methods can now be used sep., in parallel and it is hoped that one day they will be able to be used simultaneously; thus, using the same probe to measure a single analyte using two different methods (electrochem. and optical) or two different analytes with either of the aforementioned methods sitting on the same probe. This article will highlight the importance, as well as the usefulness, of combining measurement methodologies in improving sensor response and sensitivity. [on SciFinder(R)]
