ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOSENSORS

This paper gives a condensed review of studies carried out by the auth ors in the field of designing electrochemical biosensors for detecting glucose and phenol in aqueous media. It has been shown that the amper ometric type sensors operating on the principle of detecting hydrogen peroxide can be used to analyze glucose in blood. The required identif ication selectivity is obtained through the specific design of an enzy me reactor and use of proper materials. The application of biosensors based on the Clark-type electrode is the most promising for environmen tal control.
