About
Ivan Kruhak is an analytical chemist whose research focuses on electrochemical sensing, biosensor development, and clinical diagnostics. His work sits at the intersection of biochemistry and instrumentation, with a particular emphasis on designing practical, cost-effective tools for biomedical analysis. Among his notable contributions is the development of a urease-based biosensor for urea determination in flow injection analysis (FIA) mode, published in 1999 and garnering 8 citations. This work introduced a novel electrode design utilizing covalent immobilization of urease on a nickel-hexacyanoferrate-modified nickel electrode, advancing the sensitivity and reliability of enzymatic biosensors. Complementing this, his 1998 work on a multichannel potentiometric blood analyzer demonstrated his commitment to accessible clinical tools — the system enabled fully automatic measurement of pH and key electrolytes including sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride in blood and serum samples using ion-selective electrodes. Together, these contributions reflect Kruhak's dedication to bridging laboratory innovation with real-world diagnostic application. His research provides foundational work for researchers developing affordable, miniaturized electrochemical systems for point-of-care and clinical laboratory use.
