The paper presents comparative effectiveness analysis of glycerol oxidase preparations, used for development of amperometric biosensor for glycerol determination, which are different in method of preparation and in characteristics.
Enzyme preparation, whose immobilization on transducer surface results in sensor demonstrating its best operational characteristics, was selected. PH-optimum for the operation of the developed amperometric biosensor was determined; the values of buffer volume and background electrolyte concentration in buffer were shown to have no effect on the work of glycerol biosensor. The analysis of glycerol concentration in sample solutions was carried out using the developed amperometric biosensor based on glycerol oxidase.
 

Key words: amperometric biosensor, glycerol oxidase, glycerol, immobilization, electrochemical polymerization.
