Determination of Organophosphorus and Carbamate Pesticides Using a Piezoelectric Biosensor
Abstract
A biosensor based on the quartz crystal microbalance has been developed for the determination of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides. Detection is based on the inhibitory effects of these compounds on the activity of acetylcholinesterase immobilized on one of the faces of the crystal. Exposure of the immobilized enzyme to a solution of the histological substrate, 3-indolyl acetate, gives rise to the formation of an indigo pigment insoluble product that deposits (precipitates) on the crystal surface. The rate and extent of the enzymatic reaction can be followed in real time by measuring the frequency changes associated with the mass changes at the crystal surface induced by the accumulation of the enzymatic reaction product (indigo pigment). The presence of paroxon (organophosphorus pesticide) or carbaryl (carbamate pesticide) is detected by a diminution of the signal (frequency change) arising from their inhibitory effects. Calibration curves were constructed by plotting the percentage of inhibition vs the logarithm of the pesticide concentration. Detection limits of 5.0 × 10 - 8 and 1.0 × 10 - 7 M were obtained for paroxon and (after a 5-min preincubation) carbaryl, respectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
