Advances in CNMs-based biosensors are growing so quickly that we are not able to introduce all the perspectives in this field. In this chapter, we only pay particular attention to the recent technique developments in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and graphene-based biosensors and focus on the introduction of their in vitro and in vivo applications.
