The response characteristics of a new biosensor, which was developed by co-immobilisation of chicken liver tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide, was evaluated. In the range of electrode potential observed ( - 0.5∼ + 0.05 V vs Ag/AgCl), the bioelectrode showed the response time ($t_{95%}$) as low as 13 sec and the detection limit of $5.1{\times}10^{-5}$ M, and exhibited a good selectivity in the case of the addition of the possible interferents tested. Also it offered a high biocatalytic stability and opened up the possibility for the construction of a mediatorless biosensor.

A biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was constructed by immobilizing of porcine small instestinal tissue in a plain carbon paste, and the effect of varying the $H_2O_2$ concentration and pH on the rate of catalytic reaction was evaluated. For the mathematical simplicity, no mediator was added. Electrochemical properties and the maximal rate could be derived from the quantitative analysis of the observed phenomena related to the electrode reaction. Also, pH dependence of the Michaelis constant enabled to calculate various thermodynamic parameters and subsequently to design a electrochemical method to determine the optimum pH of enzyme.

Electrochemical determination of Ag(I) ion was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with the carbon paste electrode (CPE) containing cinchonidine. The detection limit for Ag(I) ion was shown to be $1.0 {\times}10^{-6}$ M in conventional CV and up to $8.0{\times}10^{-9}$ M (${\pm}$0.6%) using DPV. The optimum analytical condition of Ag(I) ion was determined as follows: pH 7, 20 minutes of deposition time, and 50% (w/w) cinchonidine to carbon powder composition of electrode. The interference effect of various metal ions added to the deposition solution was also studied. The peak current of Ag(I) ion except Hg(II) ion was decreased roughly 25% compare to Ag(I) ion only. When Mn(II) ion was present in sample solution at pH 9, shown a large interference effect.

A cobalt(II) ion-selective carbon-paste electrode (CPE) was constructed with ${\iota}$-sparteine. Cobalt(II) ion in aqueous solution was chemically deposited through the complexation with ${\iota}$-sparteine onto the CPE. The surface of CPEs were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry in an acetate buffer solution, separately. Exposure of the CPEs to an acid solution could regenerate surface to reuse it for the deposition. In more than 5 deposition / measurement / regeneration cycles, the response was reproducible and linear up to $5.0{\times}10^{-6}$M with linear sweep voltammetry. The peaks at 0.17V / 0.27V were correspond to the redox of Co(II)-SP complex deposited on CPE. The anodic peak of which appeared after scan over the cathodic peak of 0.17 V to more negative scan. In case of using the differencial pulse voltammetry (DPV), we have obtained the linear response $2.0{\times}10^{-7}$M with relative standard deviation ${\pm}5.6%$. The detection limit was $1.0{times}10^{-7}$M for 20 minutes of the deposition. We have also investigated the interference effect of various metal ions, which are expected to form the complex with the ligand on the electrode.

A mugwort-tissue-based modified carbon paste electrode was constructed for the amperometric detection of hydrogen peroxide and its electrochemical properties are described. Especially the amperometric signal was very stable and bigger than any other enzyme electrode studied in this lab. The effect of tissue composition on the response was linear within the wide range of experiment and the linearity of Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that the sensing process of the biosensor is by enzymatic catalysis. And pH dependent current profile connoted that two isozymes are active in this system.

Electrochemical determination of iodide was carried out by stripping voltammetry with a $(Cin)Cu(NO_3)_2$ modified-carbon paste electrode. Iodide was coordinated onto the electrode surface containing $(Cin)Cu(NO_3)_2$ via ion exchange. The oxidation peak potential of incorporated iodide was ＋0.72 V. The optimum analytical conditions for the determination of iodide were investigated using linear sweep voltammetry. Optimum conditions for the electrochemical determination of iodide were as follows: i) A predeposition solution was 0.1 M $KNO_3.$ ii) The deposition time was 10 min. iii) The composition of the electrode was 40% (w/w). The detection limit for iodide was $1.0{\times}10^{-6}M$ and the relative standard deviation was ${\pm}5.5%\;in\;2.0{\times}10^{-5}M$(four repetitions). The interference effect of other anions were also investigated. $Cl^-,\;Br^-,\;C_2O_4^{2-},\;and\;ClO_4^-$ ions do not interfere for the determination of iodide. When $SCN^-$ was added to the deposition solution, the oxidation peak current of iodide ion was decreased roughly 32%.

Disposable, amperometric glucose sensor was constructed using platinised carbon paste electrode. The sensor response was studied by amperometry and cyclic voltammetry applying sample solutions on the strip-type electrode. Platinization of screen-printed carbon paste electrode effectively improved the electrochemical reversibility of a mediator and the analytical characteristics of the sensor. The heterogeneous rate constant for $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-/3-}$ was $1.45\times10^{-2}cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$. An applied potential of 0.3V vs. Ag/AgCl resulted in the best selectivity for glucose. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant for glucose on the strip sensor, $K_m^{app}$, was 24.5 mM. To evaluate the analytical performance of the glucose sensor strip, a correlation study was performed with the NOVA S.P, Ultra M analyzer for 30 serum samples containing $80\~297mg/dL$ of glucose: the correlation coefficient value was 0.983. It can be seen that the strip sensor has satisfactory precision and accuracy.

Redox complexes to transport electrodes from biomaterial to electrodes are very important part in commercial biosensor industry. A novel osmium redox complex was synthesized by the coordinating pyridine group with osmium metal. A novel osmium complex is described as $[Os(dme-bpy)_2(ap-im)Cl]^{+/2+}$. We have been studied the electrochemical characteristics of this osmium complex with electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperommetry. In order to immobilize osmium redox complexes on the electrode, we deposited gold nano-particles on screen printed carbon electrode(SPE). The electrical signal converts the osmium redox films into an electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation. The catalytic currents were monitored that the catalytic currents were linearly increased from 1 mM to 5 mM concentrations of glucose.
