RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF AN EXPENDABLE BIOELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR SYSTEM

Abstract

This report describes the fabrication of two experimental detectors and preliminary operation of one of these at 4, 25, and 60 C. Enzyme hydrolysis at the extreme temperatures was normal, except however, a shift of safe voltage was observed. The voltage resulting from contact of the enzymatically hydrolyzed substrate with the electrodes fell during exposure to high temperature and rose during the low-temperature experiment. Additional studies are now needed to determine the effect of temperature extremes on detector operation. A shift of emphasis from obtaining maximum voltage change to obtaining minimum response time is suggested and suitable experiments are outlined.
