- Abstract:
- Nitrite salts are regularly used as fertilizers and food preservatives. Excessive levels have raised awareness from public regulation agencies, since nitrite can have an adverse impact on public health and on ecological system. Therefore, it is important to develop sensitive assays to monitor this ion in foodstuff products and water. This work presents a nitrite biosensor based on a highly selective nitrite reducing enzyme incorporated on carbon ink based screen-printed electrodes.
