| Abstract:
Enzyme electrodes and optical immunosensors are at the leading edge of the biosensor field. Analyzers based on enzyme electrodes for the measurement of about 12 parameters are currently in the market. The sensitivity of multienzyme electrodes can be shifted to the subnanomolar concentration range. With monoenzyme sensors several thousand samples per hour are measurable. Direct as well as enzyme labeled immunosensors nowadays reach the sensitivity of immunoassays. Using multi-enzyme systems or intact cells biologically related parameters, e.g., taste, odor, mutagenicity, allergenicity and biological oxygen demand are detectable. Further progress is expected by applying tailor-made enzymes, antibodies and neuronal networks. | |
