Abstract
ABSTRACT An optical urea biosensor was developed by immobilizing an urease enzyme layer on a thin ammonium-selective polymer membrane. The ammonium optical membrane utilized dichlorofluorescein octadecyl ester (DCFOE) as anionic chromophore and nonactin as neutral ionophore. The urease layer was coated on the top of the ammonium layer by gelatin entrapment combined with glutaradehyde cross-linking. Hydrolysis of urea catalyzed by urease produced ammonium ion, which was extracted into the-polymer film to form complexes with nonactin. A proton was released which resulted in a color change of the optical membrane due to charge neutrality principle. The biosensor
