title = "Optical fiber biosensor based on enzymatic coating matrix for catecholamines assessment in human urine",
abstract = "An optical fiber (OF) biosensor has been developed and applied for simultaneous determination of catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) in human urine. The developed analytical device shows a high potential for catecholamines quantification with a detection limit of 2.1, 2.6 and 3.4 pg mL-1 for dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively. The analytical performance of the OF biosensor was found to be similar to that of the High Performance Liquid Chromatography - Electrochemical Detector (HPLC-ED) regarding catecholamines determination in samples of human urine.",
