Determination of P-Cresol (and Other Phenolics) Using a Conducting Polymer Based Electro-Immunological Sensing System

Abstract

Antibodies to a p-cresol bovine serum albumin conjugate have been produced and incorporated into a conducting polymer to form an electro-immunological sensing system. Using flow injection analysis and pulsed electrochemical detection sensitive, reproducible and rapid responses to p-cresol and other phenolics can be obtained. The sensor is reusable.
