Abstract:

This paper presents a one-dimensional-in-space mathe- matical model of an amperometric biosensor based on a carbon nanotube electrode deposited on a perforated membrane. The developed model is based on nonlin- ear reaction-diffusion equations. The conditions at which the one-dimensional mathematical model can be applied to an accurate simulation of the biosensor response are investigated. The accuracy of the response simulated by using one-dimensional model is evaluated by the re- sponse simulated by the corresponding two-dimensional model. The mathematical model and the numerical so- lution are also validated by an experimental data. The obtained agreement between the simulation results and experimental data is admissible for different configura- tions of the biosensor operation. The numerical simula- tion was carried out using the finite difference technique.
