Guerrieri A, Monaci L, Quinto M, Palmisano F: A disposable amperometric biosensor for rapid screening of anticholinesterase activity in soil extracts. Analyst. 2002 Jan;127(1):5-7.
A disposable amperometric biosensor for the determination of anticholinesterase activity in soil extracts is described. The sensitive membrane was obtained by co-crosslinking acetylcholinesterase and choline oxidase with bovine serum albumin using glutaraldehyde. The anticholinesterase activity of the soil extract was measured using chronoamperometry at 650 mV vs. Ag/AgCl to monitor the biocatalytically produced H2O2 before and after the inhibition step. An inhibition percentage of 38 +/- 4% was recorded for soil extracts spiked with 10 ppb of ethyl parathion. The device has the potential to be used as a gross sensor for the assessment of anticholinesterase activity in soil extracts. |
