Abstract

In this chapter methods and protocols for surfaces adapted to electrochemical impedance detection, antibody binding, electrolyte couples used, and instrumentation for EIS Biosensing are presented. Various technical bottlenecks have been overcome in recent years. Other limitations still present in this technique are discussed. We present the most recent applications in food pathogen detection based on EIS methods, as well as using other antibody-based platforms.

Keywords: Biosensors; Electrochemical impedance sensing (EIS); Food pathogens; Limit of detection; Surface activation.
