Abstract

A biosensor for dopamine was developed wherein mushroom tissue was coupled with an aperometric sensor for oxygen. The device monitored the decrease in the dissolved oxygen in the medium as a result of the oxidation of the analyte in the presence of an enzyme contained in mushroom. The response of the biosensor was linearly related to the concentration of dopamine. The thickness of the tissue and the pH of the analyte medium affected the responses of the sensor.
