DEVELOPMENT OF A PESTICIDES BIOSENSOR USING CARBON-BASED ELECTRODE SYSTEMS

摘要

The biosensors described in this work, for the monitoring of pesticides, are based on acetylcholinesterase immobilized on the surface of screen-printed electrodes. The principle of the biosensor is that the degree of inhibition of an enzyme sensor by a pesticide is dependent on the concentration of that pesticide. The DPV technique was used as a detection method and methyl-paraoxon as a reference pesticide for sensor calibration.
