Acetylecholinesterase-based biosensor electrodes for organophosphate pesticide detection. II. Immobilization and stabilization of acetylecholinesterase.

The dry and wet stability of Drosophila acetylcholinesterase non-covalently immobilized onto polyethyleneimine modified screen-printed carbon electrodes was improved when compared to non-immobilized acetylcholinesterase, and acetylcholinesterase covalently immobilized onto dialdehyde and polyethyleneimine modified electrodes. Stabilizer mixtures were characterized for additional stabilization of acetylcholinesterase during storage in the dry state, with dextran-sulphate/sucrose and polygalacturonic acid/sucrose mixtures proving highly effective for long-term storage of biosensor electrodes.
