The determination of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides was carried out using an amperometric transducer based on a robust, polishable and easily machinable biocomposite. The biocomposite material contains graphite powder, a non-conducting epoxy resin and acetylcholinesterase. The enzyme reta

β¦ Synopsis
An amperometric enzyme electrode for bilirubin based on the incorporation of bilirubin oxidase and horseradish peroxidase within a graphite-epoxy matrix is reported. The resulting bienzyme electrodes are renewable (by polishing) and offer low-potential detection of bilirubin. The limit of detection is 4 x loT6 M and the response is linear up to 1 X lo-* M. The influence of various experimental variables is described. The surface-to-surface reproducibility is 14% (in terms of relative standard deviation). The fabrication scheme is simple and the response times are short. The prospects of using amperometric bilirubin electrodes for diagnostic work are discussed.
