title: [Biological safety problems on the brink of the 21st century].
abstract: The review deals with the prospects of development of means of bioindication, one of the key elements in the country's biological safety system. The level of their development is determined by the state-of-the-art of methodology and techniques for detection of ultralow concentrations of biomolecular markers and by the advances in bioengineering and molecular diagnosis. In the authors' opinion, great progress should be soon obvious in the design of specific indication means (biosensor devices and systems for multicomponent analysis due to the use of laser sources of stimulation and new long-luminescent markers (chelates of lanthanoids and metallic porphyrins) for the homogeneous and non-dissociative schemes of solid-phase analysis. This review is followed by the collected subject-matter papers of the scientists of the State Research Institute of Biological Instrument-Making Industry who have been actively engaged in the design of bioindication technical facilities.
