urease was immobilized on platinum electrode both by chemical binding and electropolymerization.the conductometric urea biosensor thus prepared showed a detection limit of 4.9×10-5 m and linear dynamic range from 4.9×10-5 to 5.8×10-3 m for urea concentration when the enzyme is covalently immobilized on pt electrodes. conductometric transducers respond to the changes in ionic strength thereby le...

1. Amperometric 2. Voltametric 3. Conductometric Biosensors [1]. In amperometric biosensor, current is final output, this current is measured in terms of oxygen. Whereas in Voltametric biosensor and voltage is final output. In conductometric biosensor, thermal voltage is final output. The biosensor contains a ligand and a transducer ligand means biological element and transducer mean which conv...

A conductometric urea biosensor based on sol–gel-immobilized urease on a screen-printed inter-digitated array (IDA) electrode has been developed. The screen-printed thick-film IDA electrode has proven to be an excellent conductometric transducer in which the admittance signal was dominated by the conductance signal and the resulting dynamic range was wide enough to be employed for the construct...

A highly sensitive, conductometric and label-free biosensor for the detection of immunoglobulin E (IgE) is developed based on the immobilzation of the IgE aptamer onto a single polyaniline nanowire electrochemically synthesized in a facile and controllable way.

Development of a conductometric biosensor for the urea detection has been reported. It was created using a non-typical method of the recombinant urease immobilization via adsorption on nanoporous particles of silicalite. It should be noted that this biosensor has a number of advantages, such as simple and fast performance, the absence of toxic compounds during biosensor preparation, and high re...

A conductometric proteinase K biosensor for organic matter monitoring in rivers has been developed. In fact, with approximately 30% of the total Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), proteins were chosen to be used as indicators of urban pollution. Proteinase K hydrolyzes proteins into different ionic amino-acids which results in local conductivity changes. In this work, we began with the optimization ...

Johne's disease (JD) is one of the most costly bacterial diseases in cattle. In the U.S., economic losses from the disease have been estimated to exceed $1,500,000,000 per year, mainly from the effects of reduced milk production. Current diagnostic tests for JD are laboratory based and many of those tests require specialized equipment and training. Development of rapid and inexpensive diagnosti...

A conductometric biosensor using immobilised Chlorella vulgaris microalgae as bioreceptors was used as a bi-enzymatic biosensor. Algae were immobilised inside bovine serum albumin membranes reticulated with glutaraldehyde vapours deposited on interdigitated conductometric electrodes. Local conductivity variations caused by algae alkaline phosphatase and acetylcholinesterase activities could be ...

Johne's disease (JD), caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), is an important gastrointestinal disease of cattle worldwide because of the economic losses encountered in JD-affected herds. These losses include reduction in milk yield in cows, premature culling and reduced carcass weight of culled diseased animals. In the U.S. dairy industry, economic losses from reduced ...
