Abstract

We have designed an amperometric xanthine minibiosensor based on a supported biotinylated phospholipid membrane. To this membrane streptavidin-modified xanthine oxidase was coupled. The fabricated biosensor corresponds in shape and size to a needle of 0·3 mm in diameter. The assay is based on the electrochemical detection of enzymatically generated hydrogen peroxide. The response to xanthine was linear up to 1 mmol.l −1 with a detection limit of 0·02 mmol.l −1. The response time was less than one minute and the biosensor was stable for at least five days.
