Abstract
Prolific research toward the development and modification of biosensing platforms is expanding the horizon of clinical diagnosis, health monitoring and drug diagnosis. Most biosensors performance relies on sophisticated instrumental analysis, which is costly, time-consuming and involves additional complications and risks. Liquid crystal biosensors have been considered as an efficient alternative to conventional sensing methodologies. Due to the orientation-dependent interactions at their interface, they can be designed to detect specific biomolecular entities and prevent the need for sophisticated instrumental analysis. This review summarizes the studies on liquid crystalline materials for biosensing applications from molecular elaboration and design perspectives.
