There are a many applications of biosensors in biochemical analysis at different regions of human life at present time which caused by their high sensitivity, performance speed and small sizes in contrast to traditional methods of analysis. Optical biosensors based on surface plasmon resonance are most popular because they have some advantages in comparison with other types of sensors. Basic types of those biosensors and their application for a detection and analysis of various biomolecules are viewed in this article.
