Aa. Shulga et al., THIN-FILM CONDUCTOMETRIC ENZYME BIOSENSORS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF GLUCOSE AND UREA IN BLOOD, Russian electrochemistry, 29(8), 1993, pp. 1219-1224
The characteristics of enzyme biosensors built with thin-film Au, Ti,
and Al electrodes of different geometry were studied. The highest sens
itivity was found to be attained with gold electrodes. Biomembranes co
ntaining glucose oxidase or urease as the enzyme immobilized by covale
nt crosslinking with bovine serum albumin with the aid of glutaraldehy
de were formed on the electrode surfaces in order to create the biosen
sors. The sensors obtained had a linear dynamic range from 0.1 to 3.0
mM for urea and from 0.1 to 2.0 mM for glucose; their respective sensi
tivities were 50 and 8 muOMEGA-1/mM when measuring in 5 mM potassium p
hosphate buffer of pH 7.4. Results for glucose and urea in blood found
with these sensors were reported.
