SENSITIVE ENZYME ASSAYS - MEASURED BY CHANGES IN SOLUTION CONDUCTIVITY
Enzyme Activity/ Catalysis | Clinical Tests
Conductivity Assays
Simple, Sensitive, Low Cost ( ca. £200) & Reliable
EASY TO BUILD (DIY)
Applicable for blood & urine clinical tests, industrial
college & school projects (see Applications)
Uses two low cost electrochemical cells (sample & reference) in an ac bridge for extra differential sensitivity
The simple bridge circuit & the apparatus are shown below.

Readers who have experience of conductivity and enzymes may wish to skip the Basic Introduction and proceed directly to the Specific Introduction.
Soon a new section that describes recent research on hydrogen generation by electrolysis of water will be added to this website.
It will describe a novel approach for small scale hydrogen generation
i.e a domestic system that could be scaled up.
