time of half-response and time of half-recovery

showed a good discrimination between these carbonyl

compounds [125].

Surface plasmon resonance biosensors can be used

for the detection of target analytes utilizing highly

specific antigen-antibody interactions. Parylene has

been modified with amine groups, i.e., parylene-A,

and applied as a linker layer of the surface plasmon

resonance biosensor [126]. The primary amine
