A screening method for heavy metals in aqueous extracts of soil is presented which is based on inhibition of the enzymes urease and alcohol dehydrogenase. The method is suitable to detect cupric and mercury ions in concentrations below 0.01 mg/L and several other heavy metal ions in 1000 fold higher
## Abstract Detection techniques for biosensors often require bulky instruments or cells that are not feasible for in‐field analysis. Our single‐drop cell design, optimized in this work, comprised a screen‐printed three‐electrode (SPE), strip in horizontal position onto which a volume of 100 μL of
