| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of master thesis is to model amperometric biosensor with chemically modified electrode, introducing into existing model one more additional mediator layer. Mediator concentration inside the layer is changing during the biosensor action. Master thesis content consists of: enzyme kinetics introduction, biosensor modeling peculiarities exploration, chemically modified electrode information, biosensor action aspects description. Following chapter concentrates on mathematical modeling of particular biosensor type. Mathematical model represents differential equations with partial derivatives describing the reactions and diffusion inside biosensor. Next, numerical model is formulated. The explicit method technique was used. Based on numerical model software was made and validated. Using software the biosensor action was simulated in order to investigate biosensor properties and characteristics. In this work several properties were analyzed: impact of substrate and mediator concentrations, size of mediator, enzyme and diffusion layers, mediator layer diffusion coefficient on biosensor response. This model was compared with previous introduced model and it was shown that there is some difference between them and there is a reason to use new model. |
