Mixed urease/amphiphile LB films and their application for biosensor development

Bioelectrochemistry. 2002 May 15;56(1-2):157-8. doi: 10.1016/s1567-5394(02)00045-2.

Abstract

The optimal conditions for the formation of a stable mixed urease/octadecylamine (ODA) film at the air-water interface are determined. This film is efficiently transferred onto the hydrophobized surface of a pH-ISFET, and the features of the urea enzymatic field-effect transistor (ENFET) are determined: detection limit 0.2 mM, response time 15 s, and dynamic range 0-20 mM.
