Abstract

The present study is aimed at construction of biosensors consisting of a screen printed sensor with a platinum working electrode and immobilized acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as a biorecognition element. Several immobilization protocols such as precipitation with glutaraldehyde, immobilization onto spherical graphite microparticles, sorption, interception into gelatin, and sol-gel were used in order to construct biosensors suitable for practical performance. The activity of AChE was evaluated by means of voltammetric oxidation of thiocholine originating from acetylthiocholine. Square wave and cyclic voltammetry were used throughout the experiments. Suitability of the constructed biosensors was evaluated using the toxic organophosphate diisopropylfluorophosphate.
