The field of electrochemical detection and sensing is briefly surveyed. Some general problems are pointed out, e.g., the limited reproducibility of the sensor surface, difficulties with the long-term stability of sensors, or slow response of many electrochemical devices. On the other hand, promises and opportunities for the future involve further sensor miniaturization, combination of sensing and detection with chemometric techniques and/or with other measuring techniques, potentialities of in vivo measurements in biological objects, or mass production of simple and low cost single-use sensors.
