This presentation covers an approach towards integrating enzymatic biosensors to monitor wound healing. The importance of wound care in recovery not only facilitates timely healing, but also assists in preventing further infection and minimize scarring. To prevent complications, preserve tissue function, and facilitate healing, accurate evaluation and management of wounds is vital. Present wound diagnostics include visually recording the wound area and depth to assess healing progress. However, there are no methods available for monitoring the biochemical events in the wound. This biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing uricase (UOx) natural catalyst for UA as the enzyme and, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and gold nanoparticles (Au) as electron exchange matrix. These results show that this biosensor can be used to monitor UA in physiological concentrations. |
