Possibilities of Electrochemical Detection of Chlorpirifos Oxon

Abstract

Our aim was the development and optimisation of simple, rapid and cheap methods for detection of pesticides using biosensors that provide information on the toxicity of a sample. There were tested the possibilities of detection of chlopyrifos oxon using enzymatic biosensors obtained by immobilisation in a photocrosslinkable polymer PVA of different types of acethylcolinesterases (commercial enzymes and mutant Drosophila melanogaster enzymes).
