| Popis | The flow-through amperometric biosensor is presented for determination of carboxylic acids. It is based on two sensor layers that are deposited on a platinum electrode. The inner layer serves to eliminate interferences by limiting diffusion of electrochemically active substances such as ascorbic acid. This layer is electro-polymerized using an equimolar mixture of o-phenylenediamine and resorcinol. The outer layer is prepared by cross-linking the enzyme sarcosine oxidase and bovine serum albumin using glutaraldehyde. The formation of enzymatically produced hydrogen peroxide is monitored at 600 mV vs. an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The addition of carboxylic acids causes competitive inhibition of the enzyme and a decrease in signal. The assay was optimized for determination of carboxylic acids in wine samples. Following 10-fold dilution, most samples contain 1-10 mM individual carboxylic acids and thus a 5 mM concentration of sarcosine was chosen as being optimal for competition. |
