Principles and Construction
Keywords:
colorimetry, nerve agents, acetylcholinesterase, dipstick, detectorAbstract
Colorimetric dipsticks based on recognition capability of acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) are a suitable tool for a fast and sensitive detection of nerve agents and some pesticides. In this review, the detectors are digestedly presented and basic biochemical methods appropriate for the colorimetric estimation of AChE enzymatic activity are included as well. Moreover, the available matrices suitable for construction of dipsticks and chemical, as well as physical protocols for AChE immobilization on detectors surface are introduced.
