Abstract
This study presents a simple method to integrate hydrogel/enzyme dots for the performance of multi-enzymatic reactions in two microfluidic devices and shows the conversion of enzyme educts under continuous flow as well as the reusability of the hydrogel/enzyme dots in microfluidic devices. For this purpose, five different enzymes were physically entrapped in a hydrogel matrix composed of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Two separate tri-enzymatic cascade reactions were carried out. In the first cascade the enzymes β-galactosidase, glucose oxidase, and horseradish peroxidase were used and the second cascade consisted of the enzymes phospholipase D, choline oxidase, and again horseradish peroxidase. The (long-term) activity of free and hydrogel-immobilized enzymes was evaluated by UV-vis spectroscopic measurements …
