title: A reagentless nitric oxide biosensor based on haemoglobin/polyethyleneimine film.
abstract: An unmediated NO biosensor was prepared by co-immobilizing haemoglobin with polyethyleneimine at a pyrolytic graphite electrode surface. Haemoglobin exhibits direct electrochemistry in the membrane, and this modified electrode shows high stability and catalytic activity towards the reduction of NO. A linear relationship between the catalytic current and the concentration of NO was observed in the concentration ranges 1.0 x 10(-7)-8.0 x 10(-6) M and 1.0 x 10(-5)-2.5 x 10(-5) M, with a detection limit of 4.0 x 10(-8) M.
