Fabrication and characterisation of eletrochemical biosensors for the determination of cholesterol

Abstract

During the course of this study, an extensive investigation was conducted into the measurement of free and total cholesterol by fabrication of cholesterol biosensors. Specific areas investigated in-depth included the immobilisation of enzymes into conducting polypyrrole (PPy) film, bovine serum albumin-glutaraldehyde (BSA-GLA) gel and a hybrid bi-layer of PPy and BSA-GLA. Key parameters for the reliable measurement of cholesterol were optimised. The optimum parameters
