The examples described in this chapter clearly show the potential of modified electrodes based on redox-active osmium-containing polymers. The redox potentials of these materials can be manipulated by varying the nature of the polymer-bound redox couple, which allows us to tailor polymers to particular application, especially in the sensors area. Furthermore changes can also be made in the polymer composition both with respect to polymer loading and the nature of the polymer backbone. This will allow control of such parameters as substrate diffiision and charge transport through the layer. This flexibility allows the systematic investigation of electrochemical properties of electrodes modified with such materials. 

Acetylcholineesterase and choline oxidase A glassy C electrode surface was modified with osmium poly (vinyl-pyridine) redox polymer containing horseradish peroxidase (Os-gel-HRP) and then coated with a co-immobilized layer of AChE and ChO. A 22 pL pre-reactor, in which ChO and catalase were immobilized on beads in series, was used to remove choline. The variation in extracellular concentration of ACh released from rat hippocampal tissue culture by electrical stimulation was observed continuously with the online biosensor combined with a microcapillary sampling probe. Measurement of ACh and Ch was carried out by using a split disc C film dual electrode.

A new type of (bio)chemical sensor, the redox-sensitive field-effect transistor is described It consists of a conventional ISFET with a noble metal added on top of the gate insulator The gate electrode is modified with a redox polymer containing osmium complexes The potentiostatic multi-puls method is introduced which allows the adjustment of the redox potential of the gate to a desired value in a stepwise way It is shown that the open circuit potential after switching off the potentiostat is a good measurement of the presence of the redox active species NADH...
