CAPROLACTAM DETECTION USING TWO TYPES OF MICROBIAL BIOSENSORS
Laboratory prototypes of vial and throughput-injection type biosensors were developed based on bacterial caprolactam strain-destructor. The comparative characteristics (for throughputinjection/vial type systems, respectively) were obtained: single measurement duration - 12/15 min, the detection threshold - 0005/0.02 mM, operating stability - 5.3/9.8%, long-term stability - 10/14 days. The data on real samples (sewage discharge and bio-treatment) indicate the practical application potential for both types of biosensors to deploy in environmental monitoring systems.
