Abstract: With rising healthcare costs and to improve patient care, diagnostic laboratories have been challenged to develop new tests that are reliable, cost–effective and accurate and to optimize existing protocols by making them faster and more economical. Determination of serum total cholesterol is one of the most vital biochemical parameters in healthcare. With the availability of new materials associated with new sensing techniques has led to remarkable innovations in the design and construction of cholesterol biosensors. The present review describes the specifications of most of the electrochemical cholesterol biosensors reported till date.
