Abstract
There is disclosed an enzyme electrode, comprising a polyion complex membrane of an immobilized enzyme, formed on an electrode base. According to the enzyme electrode, an enzyme substrate or the like can be quantitatively determined with less hindrance of easily oxidizable coexistent materials, conveniently, exactly, and rapidly.
Claims8
An enzyme electrode, comprising a polyion complex membrane of an immobilized enzyme, formed on an electrode base, wherein the polyion complex membrane comprises at least one polycation and at least one polyanion, and wherein said at least one polycation is selected from the group consisting of polylysine, poly(ethyleneimine), poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate), and quaternarized poly(vinyl pyrrolidone).
A method of manufacturing an enzyme electrode, comprising
- (i) applying an aqueous solution of at least one polycation or at least one polyanion and an aqueous solution of an enzyme on an electrode base to form a first mixture of said at least one polycation or at least one polyanion and said enzyme;
- (ii) applying an aqueous solution of at least one polyanion or at least one polycation on said first mixture to form a second mixture, wherein when step (i) applies at least one polycation, step (ii) applies at least one polyanion and when step (i) applies at least one polyanion, step (ii) applies at least one polycation;
- and
- (iii) drying said mixtures of aqueous solutions of at least one polycation, at least one polyanion, and enzyme.
