Advantages: a—lower consumption of chemical reagents; b—rapid response time; c—portability; d—opportunity to quantify biomolecules in human serum; e—high sensitivity; f—representative information about reproducibility and stability. Disadvantages: a—higher consumption of chemical reagents; b—suitable only for primary screening and require confirmation of positive results by independent methods; c—complex electrode/platform fabrication; d—limited or unknown sensor stability; e—limited or unknown shelf-life of the sensor; f—limited sensor reproducibility.
