      The variety of assay types stems from the versatility of these components to meet the demands for different types of analytes and samples. For all these described features, immunoassays represent a critical element for the development of current biosensing technologies [27,28]. In the last years, the immunosensor has been considered as a significant development in the immunochemical field (Fig. 1).

      Recently, DNAzymes have emerged as promising elements to recognize heavy metal ions. Their benefits may be due to excellent catalytic activity, high metal-binding affinity, and specificity for metallic lead ions (“8–17” DNAzyme) [87–94]. The use of DNAzymes to detect metal ions (lead) through fluorescent, electrochemical, and mechanical biosensors has significant advantages over other sensor types in terms of linearity, response range, selectivity, and relatively simple operation [87–94].

      However, most of these sensors suffered from poor selectivity, accuracy, and irreversibility. In addition, ion sensing methods with optical fibers were also established based on the intrinsic optical properties of various ionic species such as Cu2 + (Eggins, 2008) and the uranyl ion (Turner, 1989). In such applications, light is guided by a fiber (or a fiber bundle) directly into the sample in order to observe the spectral properties of the analyte.
