Abstract
The invention relates to a biosensor support comprising a cylinder (1) consisting of a non-electroconductive material and having: a through-hole (2) coaxial to the axis of the cylinder (1); a metal rod (3) arranged in said opening (2), with its upper end (31) level with the top base (11) of the cylinder (1); a layer/coating of noble metal (4) of between 1 and 1000 nanometers, arranged on the top base (11) of the cylinder, and a protector (5) consisting of a non-electroconductive material arranged on the layer/coating of noble metal (4) in the area where the layer (4) joins the metal rod (3), said protector covering a surface having a diameter (Ø2) larger than the diameter of the rod (3). The invention is applicable to the specific detection of substances in aqueous media.
Claims5
Biosensor support, comprising:
- a) a cylinder of non-electroconductive material, having a through-hole coaxial to the axis of the cylinder
- b) a metal rod arranged in said through-hole with an upper end level with the top base of the cylinder
- c) a layer of noble metal, of between 1 and 1000 nanometers, arranged on said top base;
- and
- d) a protector of a non-electroconductive material arranged on the layer of noble metal in an area where said layer joins the metal rod and covering a surface with a diameter larger than the diameter of the rod so that an enzyme is deposited on the layer of noble metal except in a central area covered by the protector.
