Catalysts can significantly impact detection sensitivity. For instance:
- Nanocatalysts: Due to their high surface area, nanocatalysts can enhance the detection of reactions occurring at the catalyst surface. - Heterogeneous Catalysts: These can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, allowing for more precise measurement of catalytic activity. - Enzyme Catalysts: Highly specific enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be detected with high sensitivity, particularly when using biosensors.
