Abstract
A biosensing system that measures the concentration of halogenated alkenes is disclosed.
Claims28
A biosensing system that measures the concentration of a halogenated alkene in a solution, said biosensing system comprising
- a first biocomponent that catalyzes the reaction of said halogenated alkene, and
- a second biocomponent that catalyzes the reaction of a halogenated alkene epoxide, and
- a transducer layer that luminesces, and
- wherein said transducer layer is part of an optode.
1 more element
A method for measuring the concentration of a halogenated alkene in a solution whereby
- a first biocomponent catalyzes the reaction of said halogenated alkene and oxygen, and
- whereby a second biocomponent catalyzes the reaction of a halogenated alkene epoxide produced by said first biocomponent, and
- whereby a transducer layer luminesces, and
- whereby said transducer layer luminescence is altered by oxygen and/or hydrogen ions in said solution, and
- whereby photons from the luminescence of said transducer layer enter into a fiber optic cable and are transmitted to a photomultiplier, and
- whereby said photomultiplier produces an output signal that is coupled to an algorithm that transforms the signal generated by said photomultiplier into an output correlated to the concentration of said halogenated alkene in said solution.
