An amperometric biosensor based on alanine dehydrogenase for the determination of low level of ammonium ion in water
An amperometric electrochemical biosensor has been developed for ammonium (NH 4 +) ion detection by immobilising alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) enzyme in a photocurable methacrylic membrane made up of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) on a screen-printed carbon paste electrode (SPE).
