Abstract:
This review summarizes the studies carried on the development of amperometric uric acid biosensors over the past twenty years. Sensing principles, enzyme immobilization techniques, the electrode types, different approaches and various matrices used for biosensor fabrication are presented along with their benefits and limitations. Uric acid biosensors based on different modes of transducing devices such as optical, potentiometric, conductometric are also referred.

01:10Amperometry: Overview
Amperometry is a technique commonly used to measure the concentration of specific analytes in a solution by monitoring the electric current generated during an electrochemical reaction. It involves applying a constant potential between a working electrode and a reference electrode to measure the resulting current, which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte. The Clark oxygen electrode operates based on this principle of amperometry. It consists of a cathode and an anode enclosed...
01:17Microbial Biosensors
Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...
