An Analysis of Mixtures Using Amperometric Biosensors and Artificial Neural Networks

This paper presents a sensor system based on a combination of an amperometric biosensor acting in batch as well as flow injection analysis with the chemometric data analysis of biosensor outputs. The multivariate calibration of the biosensor signal was performed using artificial neural networks. Large amounts of biosensor calibration as well as test data were synthesized using computer simulation. Mathematical and corresponding numerical models of amperometric biosensors have been built to simulate the biosensor response to mixtures of compounds. The mathematical model is based on diffusion equations containing a non-linear term related to Michaelis–Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. The principal component analysis was applied for an optimization of calibration data. Artificial neural networks were used to discriminate compounds of mixtures and to estimate the concentration of each compound. The proposed approach showed prediction of each component with recoveries greater that 99% in flow injection as well as in batch analysis when the biosensor response is under diffusion control.
