title: [Flow injection biosensor based on the immobilized AChE].
abstract: A biosensor based on the flow injection system was constructed with the immobilized AChE from Scomberomorus niphonius (Curier) as identification element and a pH electrode as transducer. When phosphate buffer was used as carrier liquid, a good reproducibility (RSD = 1.427% , n=10) of the biosensor response was obtained after the substrate was injected repetitively. After an incubation time of 20 min, the calibration graph to methyl-parathion is linear (r = 0.9986) when its concentration ranges from 4.29 x 10(-10) mol x L(-1) to 4.29 x 10(-8) mol x L(-1) , and the detection limit is 1.3 x 10(-10) mol x L(-1). However, the sensitivity of this biosensor to methyl-parathion when using clean seawater as carrier liquid is not as good as that using phosphate buffer. But after preoxidation of methyl-parathion with NaClO as oxidant, the detection limit of the biosensor to methyl-parathion in seawater can be improve to 2.16 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1).
