Jack bean meal as biocatalyst for urea biosensors

Summary The construction and response of a novel biosensor for urea are described. This sensor utilizes a layer of jack bean meal immobilized at the surface of an ammonia gassensing probe. The resulting sensor is found to be a viable alternative to the enzyme-based sensor.Visiting from the Department of Chemistry, Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio as a University of Iowa, Department of Chemistry 1983 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow.
