Sulfite ion sensor with use of immobilized organelle

European journal of applied microbiology and biotechnology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The sulfite ion sensor consisted of immobilized microsomes and an oxygen electrode. When the sensor was inserted into the sample solution, a steady-state current was obtained within 10 min. A linear relationship was obtained between the steadystate current and the sulfite ion concentration when this was less than 3.4×10−4 mol×l−1. The principle and future application of the sensor are also discussed.
