“…Two main constructions of the electrochemical biosensors were used: i) biorecognition element (enzyme, avidin, oligonucleotide, etc.) is anchored at a working electrode surface either directly, or through an additional thin layer, for example of chitosan hydrogel ; ii) biorecognition element is adsorbed or covalently bound to a surface that is spatially separated from the working electrode . In the last case we talk about the use of some type of a reactor, and hence the enzymatic biosensor consists of two separate parts: the enzymatic reaction takes place in the reactor, and the detector (working electrode) then registers either some product of enzymatic reaction or, e.g., decrease/increase of oxygen concentration in the solution.…”
