Abstract
Rapid, accessible, and highly accurate biosensors for the detection of addictive and abused drugs are needed to reduce the adverse personal and societal impacts of addiction. Modern sensors that utilize next-generation technologies, e.g., nanobiotechnology and nanoarchitectonics, have triggered revolutionary progress in the field as they allow accurate detection and tracking of trace levels of major classes of drugs. This paper reviews advances in the field of biosensors for the detection of commonly abused drugs, both prescribed such as codeine and morphine, and illegal narcotics like cocaine.

Abstract
In this Letter, we combined a promising bioreceptor, a cocaine aptamer MN6, with an ultrasensitive optical platform long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to create a new cocaine biosensor. The cocaine induces a conformational rearrangement of the aptamer which changes the refractive index around the LPFG producing a measurable shift of the transmission spectrum. We were able to track subtle interaction between the receptor and cocaine molecules over a concentration range of 25 to 100 μM. The presented biosensor does not require labeling or signal enhancement, resulting in a simple user-friendly device.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immunosensor for illicit drugs have gained immense interest and have found several applications for drug abuse monitoring. This technology has offered a low cost detection of narcotics; thereby, providing a confirmatory platform to compliment the existing analytical methods. METHODS In this minireview, we define the basic concept of transducer for immunosensor development that utilizes antibodies and low molecular mass hapten (opiate) molecules. RESULTS This article emphasizes on recent advances in immunoanalytical techniques for monitoring of opiate drugs. Our results demonstrate that high quality antibodies can be used for immunosensor development against target analyte with greater sensitivity, specificity and precision than other available analytical methods. CONCLUSION In this review we highlight the fundamentals of different transducer technologies and its applications for immunosensor development currently being developed in our laboratory using rapid screening via immunochromatographic kit, label free optical detection via enzyme, fluorescence, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes based immunosensing for sensitive and specific monitoring of opiates.

Abstract
Numerous bacteria, plants, and higher organisms produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as part of their innate immune system, providing a chemical defense mechanism against microbial invasion. Many AMPs exert their antimicrobial activity by binding to components of the microbe's surface and disrupting the membrane. The goal of this study was to incorporate AMPs into screening assays for detection of pathogenic species. Surface-immobilized AMPs such as polymyxins B and E could be used to detect Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in two assay formats: direct and sandwich. Both types of assay confirmed that the peptides were immobilized in active form and could bind cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Cell binding to the AMPs was peptide-density dependent. This method for monitoring pathogen binding was extended to include other cationic AMPs such as cecropin A, magainin I and parasin. Detection limits (LODs) for E. coli O157:H7 and S. typhimurium obtained with AMPs during sandwich assays were in the ranges of 5x10(4) to 5x10(5) and 1x10(5) to 5x10(6)cells mL(-1), respectively. The different AMPs showed significantly different affinities for the two bacterial species; the potential for classification of pathogens based on different binding patterns to AMPs is discussed.

Abstract
Since discovery and first use in the mid-1970s, evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors have developed into a diverse range of instruments, each designed to meet a particular detection need. In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of what evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors are, how they work, and how they are used. In addition, we have summarized the important patents that have impacted the evolution from laboratory curiosities to fully automated commercial products. Finally, we address the critical issues that evanescent wave fluorescence biosensors will face in the coming years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immunosensors are affinity ligand-based biosensor solid-state devices in which the immunochemical reaction is coupled to a transducer. The fundamental basis of all immunosensors is the specificity of the molecular recognition of antigens by antibodies to form a stable complex. This is similar to the immunoassay methodology. Immunosensors can be categorized based on the detection principle applied. The main developments are electrochemical, optical, and microgravimetric immunosensors. In contrast to immunoassay, modern transducer technology enables the label-free detection and quantification of the immune complex. METHODS The analysis of trace substances in environmental science, pharmaceutical and food industries is a challenge since many of these applications demand a continuous monitoring mode. The use of immunosensors in these applications is most appropriate. Similarly, a series of clinical problems may be solved by continuous monitoring of certain analytes. CONCLUSIONS Clinical chemists should take advantage of immunosensors in clinical diagnostics. There are many recent developments in the immunosensor field which have potential impacts. The future role of this technique in intralaboratory, as well as bedside testing, will become even more important as the clinical laboratory is faced with increasing pressure to contain costs.

Abstract
An amperometric immunosensor for the detection of the herbicide atrazine has been developed. A redox polymer PVPOs(bpy)2Cl was co-immobilized with the specific antibody on the surface of the electrode by crosslinking with PEGDGE to form an electron-conducting hydrogel. In a competitive assay the occurrence of the antibody-antigen reaction on the surface of the sensing film was detected through the 'electrical wiring' of the redox centres of antigen-labelled horseradish peroxidase and the electrode surface in the presence of H2O2 at 0.1 V (vsAg/AgCl).

Abstract
A new solid phase fluoroimmunoassay using a fully automated flow fluorometer adapted for urinalysis of drug metabolites is described. Fluorescein-conjugated benzoylecgonine (FL-BE) and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against benzoylecgonine (BE) were the reagents used for demonstration. The solid phase consisted of anti-BE mAbs immobilized on the surface of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads. Free BE in solution competed with FL-BE and reduced bead-bound fluorescence in a concentration-dependent manner. The binding of FL-BE to the anti-BE mAb reached steady-state within minutes. FL-BE was not bound by uncoated beads nor beads coated with non-specific proteins or IgG. The signal-to-noise ratio was 33, and the sensitivity of the assay was 2 ng ml(-1) for BE. The effective concentration of BE was 1 to 100 ng ml(-1), with an IC50 value of 12 ng ml(-1). The mAb showed equal affinities for BE, cocaine, and cocaethylene, but a five order-of-magnitude lower affinity for ecgonine and ecgonine methylester. In a double-blind comparison using clinical urine samples, the data from this single-step competitive assay had excellent agreement with results obtained using a fiber-optic biosensor (FOB), and the EMIT assay performed commercially. The assay provided kinetic data rapidly and can be used to detect small analytes for which antibodies and fluorescein conjugates are available. The affinity of the mAb for FL-BE, calculated from kinetic analysis of the time course of the on and off reaction, was 2.25 x 10(-9) M.

Abstract
The evanescent wave (EW) component of light propagated via fiber-optic wave-guides can be used to both sense and transmit information regarding the immediate environment of the fiber's surface. In this article, an outline of the theoretical and practical aspects of this emerging methodology is given, as well as a discussion of the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the technique. Examples are given of how EW spectroscopy may be used in the analysis of pharmaceutical systems. Evaluation of attributes of components of EW spectroscopy allows prediction of the future for this rapidly evolving area of photonics.
