Poly biosensor

Functionalized conducting monomers can be deposited on electrode surfaces aiming for covalent attachment or entrapment of sensor components. Electrically conductive polymers (qv), eg, polypyrrole, polyaniline [25233-30-17, and polythiophene/23 2JJ-J4-j5y, can be formed at the anode by electrochemical polymerization. For integration of bioselective compounds or redox polymers into conductive polymers, functionalization of conductive polymer films, whether before or after polymerization, is essential. In Figure 7, a schematic representation of an amperomethc biosensor where the enzyme is covalendy bound to a functionalized conductive polymer, eg, P-amino (polypyrrole) or poly[A/-(4-aminophenyl)-2,2 -dithienyl]pyrrole, is shown. Entrapment of ferrocene-modified GOD within polypyrrole is shown in Figure 7. 

A flow injection optical fibre biosensor for choline was also developed55. Choline oxidase (ChOX) was immobilized by physical entrapment in a photo-cross-linkable poly(vinyl alcohol) polymer (PVA-SbQ) after adsorption on weak anion-exchanger beads (DEAE-Sepharose). In this way, the sensing layer was directly created at the surface of the working glassy carbon electrode. The optimization of the reaction conditions and of the physicochemical parameters influencing the FIA biosensor response allows the measurement of choline concentration with a detection limit of 10 pmol. The DEAE-based system also exhibited a good operational stability since 160 repeated measurements of 3 nmol of choline could be performed with a variation coefficient of 4.5%. 

A strain of yeast and a strain of bacterium were co-immobilized to fabricate a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) sensor based on sol-gel derived composite materials97. This novel type of biosensor was developed for water monitoring and was used to determine the BOD values of OECD synthetic wastewater, domestic wastewater, and lake waters. The microorganisms Trichosporon cutaneum and Bacillus subtilis were coimmobilized in the sol-gel composite material, which was composed of silica and the grafting copolymer of poly (vinyl alcohol) and 4-vinylpyridine (PVA-g-P(4-VP)).

The QD-MWNT hybrid structures were formed via the assembly of quantum dot (QD) on the surface of MWNTs in aqueous solution (Jares-Erijman and Jovin, 2003), which shows an excellent solubility in aqueous solution, and owns potential application in bioassay, bio-conjugation, and biosensors as well as solar cell. For example, incorporation of QDs and SWNTs into the poly(3-octylthiophene)-(P3OT)...

Biosensors based on poly(diacetylene)s have also been investigated by other groups [51-54]. These have proved successful in detecting biologically relevant agents such as the influenza virus and cholera toxin.
