Abstract in another language
Porous ceramic membranes have been evaluated for the use as diffusion membranes in a biosensor device. Different hydrophobization strategies are examined in order to acquire gas permeable, but liquid impermeable surfaces. Hydrophobicity was assessed by measurement of the contact angle. Blockage of the pores was counted out by gas permeability tests. Best results were obtained by treatment with a mixture of 2 % chloroorganosilane in toluene (chlorotrimethylsilane, CTMS). The obtained repellent materials with various thicknesses and pore diameters have been successfully used in a biosensor device detecting the analyte formaldehyde directly from the gas phase with formaldehyde dehydrogenase from P. putida as recognition element. The pore diameter did not really affect the sensor characteristic. However, membrane thickness greatly influenced the sensitivity of the device, with best results obtained for a 250 μm membrane.
