This work is focused on the development of an impedimetric immunosensor and two enzymatic biofuel cells. Firstly, poly(pyrrole-NHS) is used to graft a model of the ciprofloxacin antibiotic (CF) and its specific antibody (Ab) in two steps. The displacement of the antibody in solution directed by a strong affinity between Ab and CF is monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The detection limit is 10-12 g mL-1. Secondly, production of electricity is studied by two different methods. The first one is based on the creation of a pH difference driven enzymatically by glucose oxidase (GOx) and urease. This pH gradient is converted to e.m.f. by adding a pH-dependant redox couple. The second method uses glucose/O2 fu
