Mathematical modeling of the action of biosensor possessing variable parameters

摘要

Electrochemical biosensor containing flat semi-permeable membrane covering enzyme-containing layer has been investigated. Mathematical modeling of the action modes of electrochemical biosensors with outer diffusion membrane was performed. Operation of the biosensor under the conditions when the permeability of the membrane and the activity of the biocatalytic layer depend on the parameters of the probe has been examined. The pH and temperature were selected as the main parameters which often affect the action of biosensors. A set of parameters was selected when the biosensor operates in kinetic and diffusion modes of action. The response time of the biosensor was shown to be sensitive to the mode of the biosensor action especially in the boundary region of the biosensor action. The linearity of the biosensor (the linear dependence of the biosensor response on the substrate concentration) in the deep diffusion mode can be increased by several magnitudes, whereas the response time increases only several times.
