摘要:
The present invention relates to a colorimetric device for detecting, in an aqueous solution of interest, hydrolytic enzymatic activity with regard to at least one polymer of interest. This device (1) comprises (i) a substrate (2) and (ii) a transparent detection layer (3) that includes the polymer of interest. The detection layer (3) is adapted to: maintain a first thickness e after application of the aqueous solution of interest when the latter has no hydrolytic enzymatic activity; and have a second thickness e' , smaller than the first thickness e , after application of the aqueous solution of interest when the latter has hydrolytic enzymatic activity. This first thickness e and/or the second thickness e' of the transparent detection layer (3) are/is designed to generate a colour by means of an optical interference effect produced by the recombining of the light beams reflected at the interfaces (4, 5) of said detection layer (3).
