Nanolayer deposition(s) of Ag and AgC composite on a plastic substrate was used to design disposable stochastic sensors. Three shapes of nanocoatings were tested. The first shape was obtained by deposition of a nanofilm of Ag on the plastic material; the second shape was obtained by deposition of a composite AgC nanolayer on the plastic material; the third shape was obtained by nanolayer deposition of a composite material of AgC on the top of the Ag nanofilm deposited on the plastic material. α-Cyclodextrin was used to modify the active surface of the sensor. Wide linear concentration ranges were obtained as follows: for de-assay of α-amylase in whole blood: 1.00 × 10⁻⁷–1.00 × 10³ U mL⁻¹ and for the assay of α-amylase in saliva: 1.5 × 10⁻¹⁵–1.5 × 10² U mL⁻¹. α-Amylase was reliably determined from whole blood and saliva samples using the proposed disposable stochastic sensors.

Nanolayer deposition(s) of Ag and AgC composite on a plastic substrate was used to design disposable stochastic sensors. The first sensor was based on an Ag nanofilm deposited on plastic; for the second sensor, an AgC composite was deposited on plastic, and, for the third sensor, on the plastic was deposited first a nanofilm of Ag and on top of it a nanofilm of the AgC composite. α-Cyclodextrin was used to modify the active surface of the sensor.
