Application

Creatinine Deiminase microbial has been used:
  • to immobilize aminosilylated glass beads based biosensor for ammonia/ammonium and creatinine detection in urine
  • in creating creatinine-sensing membrane for biophysical studies
  • to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples

Creatinine deiminase has been used in a study to assess the application of a creatinine-sensitive biosensor for hemodialysis control. Creatinine deiminase has also been used in a study to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples.

Creatinine biosensors, based on both potentiometric and amperometric devices, have been created. However, there are significant problems still to be addressed, including the balance between sensitivity and selectivity, interference rejection and sensor stability. In addition, many devices still rely on
