Abstract
In this work, we present a smartphone-based multiplexed enzymatic biosensor utilizing the unique colorimetric properties of the poly(aniline-co-anthranilic acid) (ANI-co-AA) composite film coupled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), glucose oxidase (GOx), horseradish peroxidase-glucose oxidase (GOx-HRP) and tyrosinase (Tyr) enzymes. The enzymes are immobilized on the composite polymer film by adsorption and they catalyze a reversible redox color change of the host polymer from green to blue in the presence of their substrate. A smartphone was applied as color detector, for image acquisition and data handling. A ColorLab® android application, free of charge software application, was used to enable easy and clear display of the sensors’ response indicating remarkable changes in the optical features. The results were confirmed by the spectrophotometric measurements. The developed colorimetric enzymatic biosensors were studied and optimized in relation to different experimental parameters. Moreover, the colorimetric enzymatic biosensors were applied to food and pharmaceutical analysis. It has been shown by these studies that the colorimetric biosensors are promising as quick and simple tests for handheld analysis in various fields.
