Urea biosensors based in zeolites and chalcogenide-oxide semiconductor thin films as active materials: A review.

Diagnosis of renal failure by measuring urea levels has been a topic of intense study in recent years. A major focus has been on improving the sensitivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and selectivity of biosensors for measuring urea. Although various materials have been used in the fabrication of urea biosensors, ceramics, and chalcogenides have been less explored in this field.
