Abstract :Mass sensitive biosensors represent promising tool that used in many areas such as biomedical applications, food, environmental, military and in other fields instead of conventional methods. However, surface modifications are needed to design this rapid and reliable sensors. Plasma polymerization is a commonly used technology which offers easily-controllable, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive processing of various materials when compared to the wet chemical methods. This review includes working principle of mass sensitive biosensors, surface modification of piezoelectric crystals by plasma technology and applications of these crystals as a mass sensitive biosensor in biomedical applications.
