NASCIMENTO, Valberes B.  and  ANGNES, Lúcio. Screen-printed electrodes. Quím. Nova [online]. 1998, vol.21, n.5, pp. 614-629. ISSN 0100-4042.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-40421998000500014.

A review dealing with the use of screen-printing technology to manufacture disposable electrodes is presented, covering in details virtually all the publications in the area up to early 1997 and including 206 references. The elements and different strategies on constructing modified electrodes are highlighted. Commercial and Home-made ink recipes are discussed. Microelectrode arrays, built by the combination of photostructuring and screen-printing technologies to the mass production of advanced disposable sensors, are also discussed. Future research trends are predicted.
