Biosensing

In Vivo Biosensing. In vivo biosensing involves the use of a sensitive probe to make chemical and physical measurements in living, functioning systems (60—62). Thus it is no longer necessary to decapitate an animal in order to study its brain. Rather, an electrochemical biosensor is employed to monitor interceUular or intraceUular events. These probes must be small, fast, sensitive, selective, stable, mgged, and have a linear response.

The aim of our investigation was the development of the amperometric enzyme immunosensor for the determination of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterial antigen (Ag), causes the different inflammatory diseases. The biosensing pail of the sensors consisted of the enzyme (cholinesterase) and antibodies (Ab) immobilized on the working surface of the screen-printed electrode. Bovine seiaim albumin was used as a matrix component. 

NADH. Immobilized redox mediators, such as the phenoxazine Meldola Blue or phenothiazine compoimds, have been particularly useful for this purpose (20) (see also Figure 4-12). Such mediation should be useful for many other dehydrogenase-based biosensors. High sensitivity and speed are indicated from the flow-injection response of Figure 3-21. The challenges of NADH detection and the development of dehydrogenase biosensors have been reviewed (21). Alcohol biosensing can also be accomplished in the presence of alcohol oxidase, based on measurements of the liberated peroxide product. 

Example 6-1 Chronoamperogram a was obtained for the biosensing of glucose in whole blood. Subsequent standard additions of 1 x 10-3M glucose yielded the chronoamperograms b to d. Find the concentration of glucose in die sample.

Thus, the organoclay armoured-proteins should have diverse applications in areas such as biosensing, biocatalysis and bioelectronics. Moreover, the experimental procedure is extremely facile and could, in principle, be applied to many types of biomolecules, including bio-macromolecules such as DNA. 

The biosensing configuration described above is referred to as a sandwich assay7 but a similar optical configuration can be used in a variety of other biosensing applications, e.g., monitoring of DNA hybridisation events. 

With consideration to the quality of a bio or chemosensor it is therefore necessary to discuss the transduction principle, the quality of the sensitive layer and the data evaluation. These three issues will be discussed in this paper, with the focus on interferometric principles in the area of non-specific measurements using chemosensors and specific interaction processes in the case of biosensing.
