摘要：The determination of trypsin in the human real sample is a routine medical investigation to assess the pancreatic disease. Herein, we fabricated an interferometric reflectance spectroscopy based biosensor for the determination trypsin. For this purpose, urease and fluorescein 5(6)-isothiocyanate (FLITC) were immobilized on the nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA). The operation principle of the proposed biosensor is based on the change in the pH of the solution during the reaction of urease and urea and therefore change in the light-absorbing ability of FLITC in the presence of trypsin. The reaction of the urease enzyme with urea increased the pH of the solution because of producing ammonia. This increase in the pH of solution increased the light-absorbing ability of the immobilized FLITC on NAA and therefore the intensity of the reflected light from the NAA to the charge-coupled device detector decreased. In the presence of trypsin, the catalytic activity of immobilized urease on NAA decreased. This decrease in the activity of urease enzyme consequent on the decrease in the amount of the generated ammonia. Therefore, the immobilized FLITC on the NAA did not absorb more light and consciously, the intensity of the light reflected light into the detector increased. The proposed biosensor exhibited a good response to the concentration of trypsin in the range of 0.25–20 μg.mL−1 with the limit of detection of 0.06 μg.mL−1.
