[A potentiometric sensor designed on the basis of urease immobilized in polyelectrolyte microcapsules]
Abstract:
A potentiometric biosensor has been designed on the basis of glass pH-electrode with a sensing device of the microcellular polyelectrolytic coating containing urease. The polymeric walls of the coating are readily permeable for low-molecular weight compounds, including urea, but are impermeable for macromolecules. The main characteristics of the biosensor in various experimental solutions containing urea, low-molecular-weight salt, and buffer have been obtained. The sensor has been shown to be stable for at least three weeks. The standard curves of the sensor are linear in the range of urea concentrations from 0.2 to 20 mM.
