Abstract

Continuous environmental monitoring and human health diagnostics are important tasks of modern science. We are developing multifunctional biosensor equipment for solving these problems. It is essential that the appropriate devices are multifunctional, highly sensitive and convenient for practical use in everyday life and industrial conditions. As an example, here we show the results of the development of highly sensitive new generation biosensors for the analysis of some xenobiotics in wastewater and functional health markers in human liquids. The recent results on the construction of laboratory prototypes of amperometric enzymatic biosensors in which we use the gold nanoparticles in combination with different polymers as a host matrix will be discussed. The results of using track polymer structures to create novel biosensors will be also presented. The developed ion track-based nanosensors provide high sensitivity, low power and low cost. They shall be modified further towards portable tools for in-situ chemical analysis in space and terrestrial applications. The generic track-based nanosensors platform is suitable for detection and analysis of gases and volatile organic compounds, specifically of biomolecules, in both gaseous and liquid phases.
