Surface screen

A wide variety of methods exist for the immobilisation of enzymes on a sensor surface. Screen-printed carbon electrodes are often the favourite base for these sensors due to their inexpensiveness and ease of mass production. Methods used for the construction of AChE-containing electrodes include simple adsorption from solution [22], entrapment within a photo-crosslinkable polymer [20,23], adsorption from solution onto microporous carbon and incorporation into a hydroxyethyl cellulose membrane [24], binding to a carbon electrode via Concanavalin A affinity [25,26] and entrapment within conducting electrodeposited polymers [27]. 

This configuration based on the use of two surfaces, magnetic beads for immunoassay and screen-printed electrodes for electrochemical detection, allows to obtain a faster and a more sensitive detection of the immunoreaction than using a unique surface (screen-printed electrode) in this case it is possible to perform the electrochemical measurement in faster times (less then 30 min) and improve the sensitivity (around two magnitude orders). For this reason, this approach is advised in the development of an electrochemical immunosensor specific to any analyte. 

In a screen of this type a regular pattern of uniform holes is created over the entire surface. Screens like this are used for coating.

Table 3.1 is organized primarily by the type of filtration used in each filter. Relatively pure surface filtration comes first, exemplified by screens, followed by depth filtration. The bulk of the table is taken up with those filters that work initially by surface screening, but which move quickly into the formation of a cake of accumulated solids on the surface of the filter medium. Once a thin cake is formed, the remaining filtration occurs through this cake, which grows in thickness until the pressure differential across it becomes too great.
