DETERMINATION OF AN ANALYTE IN THE GASEOUS OR VAPOR PHASE BY BIOELECTROCHEMICAL REACTIONS AND USABLE SUPPORTS.

摘要

A METHOD FOR DETECTING AN "ANALYTE" IN THE VAPOR OR GASEOUS PHASE, AND IN WHICH A BIORECEPTOR OR "BIOMIMIC" IS RETAINED IN AN ELECTRODE. THE BIORECEPTOR OR "BIOMIMIC" IS PREFERABLY RETAINED IN A SUPPORT IN THE ELECTRODE THAT INCLUDES A GEL OR SOLID MATRIX OF AN ELECTROLYTE, ESPECIALLY ELECTROLYTES OF ORGANIC SALTS. THE ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF "ANALYTES" BY THIS PROCEDURE HAS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER THE EXISTING METHODS THAT ARE SUPPORTED IN MONITORING SOLUTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, GAS SENSORS CAN BE PREPARED TO MONITOR AN "ANALYTE" THROUGH THE PROCEDURE OF A REACTION WITH A BIORECEIVER OR "BIOMIMIC", IN ADDITION TO MONITORING THE PRESENCE OF TOXINS DUE TO "BIOR REACTION". OTHERWISE, THE INVENTION ENCOURAGES THE MONITORING OF "ANALYTE" OF STEAM OR GAS WITH HIGHER SENSITIVITY, AND MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE SENSORS WITH MORE SPEED AND HIGHER STABILITY. THE INVENTION ALSO REFERS TO NEW MEANS TO CARRY OUT BIOELECTROCHEMICAL REACTIONS.
