The need to control pesticide residues in foodstuffs in a fast and straightforward analysis for the field scale is required. Therefore, this research develops a transducer-based biosensor with a small device potentiometer (SDP) to produce a fast and accurate pesticide detection tool. The biosensor based on Pt/Au electrodes by immobilizing the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme coated membrane cellulose acetate (CA) 15% (w/v) cross-linked glutaraldehyde (GA) 25% (v/v) and SDP as a transducer that produces a potential value. The biosensor testing results on the organophosphate pesticide class, namely diazinon and profenofos, in which they showed the sensitivity of 21.204 and 21.035 mV.decade-1, Limit of Detection (LoD) 10-8 mg.L-1, selectivity coefficient Ki,j < 1 and accuracy of 99.497 and 94.765 %, respectively. The results showed that the biosensor connected to an SDP transducer had an excellent performance in determining the presence of organophosphate pesticides.
