Questions and Answers

What is the principle of an amperometric biosensor?

  • Measures the electric current resulting from the movement of electrons generated from the redox reaction between the electrodes (correct)
  • Measures the potential resulting from the movement of electrons generated from the redox reaction between the electrodes
  • Measures the voltage resulting from the movement of electrons generated from the redox reaction between the electrodes
  • Measures the resistance resulting from the movement of electrons generated from the redox reaction between the electrodes

    • What is the role of ferrocyanide in amperometric biosensors?

  • Catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone + H2O2
  • Generates a constant potential at the working electrode
  • Facilitates electron transfer between the redox-active mediator and the target analyte (correct)
  • Neutralizes the target analyte for accurate measurement
