Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a newer type of material that have been popular in biomedical applications owing to its appealing qualities such as size and aspect ratio, which covers surface area to length, as well as electrical, mechanical, and thermal capabilities and their distinctive design. In comparison to other nanocarriers, carbon nanotubes may be easily changed to conjugate bioactive molecules and ligands for targeting. Carbon nanotubes are useful in a variety of fields, including medicine delivery, bio imaging, bone tissue engineering, and diagnostics. Many obstacles must be addressed before the idea of CNT-based biosensors can be commercialised. CNT biosensor modifications have seen a major shift in recent years, with major advancements. Because of the wide range of biosensor applications, including health care sector and illness identification, environmental control, food and water quality control, and drug delivery, researchers and scientists have focused on biosensor design and development in the recent decade. The different methods for synthesis of CNTs are also discussed in this review article and it also highlights the various aspects of CNTs' toxicity profile and its biocompatibility studies.
