Biosensors are one of the most important analytical tools in biotechnology today. These detection systems take advantage of the selective interaction and binding of certain biological molecules to identify and detect different analytes such as toxins, hormones, DNA strands, proteins, bacteria, etc. The fundamental advantage of array-based biosensors, which compensates for their limited SNR and detection dynamic range [1], is their capability to detect multiple analytes simultaneously in parallel [2]. Today, densely packed biosensor arrays (i.e., microarrays) that detect hundreds or even thousands of different analytes are an integral part of biotechnology.
