Organic-phase biosensors-new tools for flow analysis: A short review.
The ability of enzymes to operate in nonaqueous media offers a great potential for monitoring flowing streams. In particular, organic-phase biosensors can be applied for on-line assays of previously inaccessible sample matrices or for measuring analytes with poor water solubility. This paper reviews the fundamental aspects of organic-phase biosensors, together with their performance as flow injection detectors, examples of relevant applications and future opportunities.
