Abstract:
Series of liquid photopolimerized compositions based on oligourethanemetacrylate (OUM-1000T and OUM-2000T) and oligocarbonatemethacrylate (OCM-2), butilmethacrylate, methacrylic that acid, monomethacrylic ether of ethylene glycol and vinylpirrolidone (VP) were tested. It was shown the optimal variant of enzyme sensor development was a composition containing VP (a basic hydrophylic matrix), OCM-2 (crosslinked components) and OUM-2000T (crosslinked and increasing adsorption of polymer component). The blend contains 3% of enzyme. The obtained biosensors as based on immobilized beta-glucose oxidase and ureases have the following charachteristics: the linear response in the range of the concentration 0.1-10 mM, 0.05-20 mM, angle of slope of curve 30 mV/pC, 38 mV/pC, and response time 10-15, 5-10 mines, respectively. The maximal response of urease sensor was in the diapazon of pH 6.0-6.5. The increase of NaCl concentration in the solution to 300 mM caused reduction of sensor response. Under this concentration the was latter equal to half of initial response. Further increase of NaCl concentration (to 500 mM) doesn't lead to further response reduction. K(m) was calculated and it was shown, that amount of immobilized urease and beta-glucose oxidase in photopolymer material was equal 0.85 and 3.1 mM respectively.
