Abstract
Biosensors require a method of fixing the sensor components to the tra nsducer surface. For amperometric enzyme electrodes, this means that f unctionalized electrode surfaces have to be developed in order to cova lently bond enzymes to the electrode surface. The synthesis and electr ochemical polymerization of new dithienyl-pyrrole derivatives are desc ribed and the biosensor characteristics of the resulting electrodes ar e demonstrated using immobilized glucose oxidase as a model enzyme.
