Amperometric Biosensor Based on Glutamate Oxidase to Determine Ast Activity
This work presents the development of an amperometric biosensor for detecting aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in biological fluids using a platinum disk electrode as the working transducer. Optimal concentrations of substrates (aspartate, α-ketoglutarate) and the coenzyme (pyridoxal phosphate) were determined to ensure efficient biosensor operation. A semi-permeable poly-m-phenylenediamine membrane was applied to enhance selectivity against electroactive interferents. The biosensor demonstrated good stability (storage, continuous operation, and production reproducibility) and analytical performance (sensitivity 8.56 nA/min for 50 U/L AST, LOD 1 U/L, linear range 1-110 U/L). Testing with real samples showed a high correlation (R = 0.989) with spectrophotometric analysis, supporting its potential for further applications.
