Question

Amperometric biosensors for flavo-oxidase enzymes illustrates three generations in the development of a biosensor.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The doubt is from Amperometric Biosensors in division Biosensors of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: Amperometric biosensors for flavo-oxidase enzymes illustrates three generations in the development of a biosensor which are as follows:

• 1^st generation electrode: utilizes H2O2 produced by the reaction.

• 2^nd generation electrode: utilizes a mediator to transfer the electrons, produced by the reaction, to the electrode.

• 3^rd generation electrode: utilizes the electrons produced by the reaction.

Hence the above statement is true.
