In this study, 2826MB (Fe40Ni38Mo4B18) amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons were used as a magnetoelastic sensor (MES) to detect diazinon organophosphates (OP). Since enlarging the sensor surface area makes a significant contribution to the sensitivity of the sensor, nanofibers were coated on the sensor surface, and then, the nanofibers were functionalized with glutaraldehyde (GA) in order to covalently bind acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme to the surface. It was found that binding of OPs to the AChE enzyme at the functional amorphous ribbon surface, a large change in the resonance frequency was observed. The results showed that functionalized MES shows a linear change according to the amount of OP detected in the range of 0-140 nL or 0-150 ppm in the solution. © 1965-2012 IEEE. |
