A New Potentiometric Urea Biosensor Based on Urease Immobilized in Electrosyntesised Poly(o-Phenylenediamine)
A potentiometric urea biosensor based on urease (Ur) electrochemical immobilisation by poly( o -phenylenediamine) (PPD) is proposed. Polymer films have been grown by cyclic voltammetry on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode, using an unconventional “upside-down” (UD) geometry. GC/Ur-PPD electrodes exhibit a rapid (5–10 s) and sensitive response to urea concentration and lifetime of at least 5 weeks. Work is in progress to optimise the sensor and study its behaviour in the presence of possible interferences
POTENTIOMETRIC UREA BIOSENSOR BASED ON UREASE IMMOBILIZED BY AN ELECTROSYNTHESIZED POLY(o-PHENYLENEDIAMINE) FILM WITH BUFFERING CAPABILITY
A simple and novel potentiometric biosensor for urea detection was prepared by employing an electrosynthesized
polymer with buffering capability. It was obtained by deposition of a weighed amount
of urease (Ur) at a glassy carbon (GC) electrode followed by immobilization by an electrosynthesized
poly-o-phenylenediamine (PPD) film. An unconventional “upside-down” (UD) geometry was employed
for the electrochemical cell. The response of GC/Ur/PPD sensor is linear with urea concentration in the
range 10 microM to 1 mM (15 mV/mM, R2 = 0.9999) due to buffering capability of PPD film, which represents
a novel role of electrosynthesized polymers in their application to biosensors. At higher concentrations,
the more common Nernstian response (28 mV/decade, R2 = 0.9987) is observed. The sensor exhibits a
sufficient sensitivity for practical determinations, rapid response and long term stability
