Abstract
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.
