“…The inorganic nature of PB and its low cost makes it more suitable than HRP in assembling modified biosensors. PB modified glassy carbon (Itaya et al, 1984;Karyakin et al, 1996Karyakin et al, , 1998, graphite (Chi and Dong, 1995;Jaffari and Turner, 1997;Deng et al, 1998), carbon paste (Garjonyte and Malinauskas, 1998) and platinum (Itaya et al, 1982) electrodes have been studied, leading to the construction of glucose (Karyakin et al, 1995;Garjonyte and Malinauskas, 2000), lactate (Garjonyte et al, 2001), glutamate (Karyakin et al, 2000), aminoacid (Chi and Dong, 1995) and alcohol (Karyakin et al, 1996) biosensors. Recently, a review on the analytical applications of PB has appeared in literature (Karyakin, 2001).…”
