The application of cholinesterase potentiometric biosensor for preliminary screening of the toxicity of waste waters

Abstract: The application of cholinesterase biosensor for preliminary testing of total pollution of domestic and industrial discharges has been investigated. The results indicate that biosensor-based testing is more sensitive than paramecia bioassay. For numerous samples tested, the inhibition degree of biosensor response exceeds the appropriate value of acute toxicity on Paramecium caudatum. Electrochemical oxidation of the samples, before the biosensor testing readily removes oxidizable compounds which do not effect a… Show more

“…Coumaphos and chloropyrifos-methyl in aqueous solutions and spiked grape juice were electrochemically oxidized to their oxygen analogues in accordance with the procedure reported on literature [32]. The electrolysis was performed in the presence of 0.1 mol L -1 NaCl on Pt electrodes (on-load voltage 6 V).…”

“…Among electrochemical methods, the pH-shift potentiometry has been used by several investigators (see e.g., [8,9] and references herein). The disadvantage of this approach consists in necessity to use low buffer capacity of the sample.…”

“…In this approach, the inhibition degree is compared with the results obtained with conventional toxicity assay techniques, i.e., acute toxicity on Daphnia magna or the Ames test of genotoxicity (Evtugyn et al 1997). This makes it possible to avoid the necessity of the information on the chemical content of the sample.…”
