Enzyme Biosensor for Determination of Organophosphates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A potentiometric enzyme biosensor for the direct measurement of organophosphate pesticides was developed. The basic element of this enzyme biosensor was a pH electrode modified with an immobilized organophosphorus hydrolase layer formed by cross-linking OPH with bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehyde. Organophosphorus hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosporus pesticides to release protons, the concentration of which is proportional to the amount of hydrolyzed substrate. The organophosphate enzyme biosensor had a response time of less than 3 min, a useful operating range of 0.002–0.4 mM for paraoxon and parathion, and a long-term stability of over a month when stored in pH 8.5, 1 mM HEPES 1 100 mM NaCl buffer at 4 &C. The effects of various parameters, buffer concentration, pH, temperature and enzyme loading are described. Q 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Field Analyt Chem Technol 2: 363–369, 1998

متن کاملTowards a Capacitive Enzyme Sensor for Direct Determination of Organophosphorus Pesticides: Fundamental Studies and Aspects of Development
The realisation of a miniaturised potentiometric enzyme biosensor is presented. The biosensor chip utilises the enzyme organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) for the direct determination of pesticides. The transducer structure of the sensor chip consists of a pHsensitive capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structure that reacts towards pH changes caused by the OPH-catalysed hydrolysi...

An amperometric biosensor for chlorphenvinphos (organophosphorus pesticide) based on carbon nanotube paste and acetylcholinesterase enzyme (CNTs-AChE biosensor) is described herein. This CNTs-AChE biosensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The SEM result shows the presence of CNTs and small lumps, due to the enzyme AChE, w...

A fiber-optic enzyme biosensor for the direct measurement of organophosphate nerve agents was developed. The basic element of this biosensor is organophosphorus hydrolase immobilized on a nylon membrane and attached to the common end of a bifurcated optical fiber bundle. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphate compounds to form stoichiometric amounts of chromophoric products that...
متن کاملAn enzyme based biosensor for the direct determination of diisopropyl ̄uorophosphate
The ability of organophosphate hydrolase (OPH, EC 3.1.8.1) from Pseudomonas diminuta to hydrolyze diisopropyl ̄uorophosphate (DFP) was used to develop a biosensor for the direct determination of DFP. A ̄uoride sensitive ion-selective electrode was exploited as the physical transducer for a batch-mode biosensor, and OPH enzyme immobilized on silica gel was used as a biological recognition element...
