An Electrochemical Biosensor with Cholesterol Oxidase/ Sol‐Gel Film on a Nanoplatinum/Carbon Nanotube Electrode

The carbon nanotubes decorated nanoplatinum (CNT‐Pt) were prepared using a chemical reduction method and a novel base electrode was constructed by intercalating CNT‐Pt on the surface of a waxed graphite electrode. The results showed that the nano‐particles of platinum at a waxed graphite electrode exhibits high catalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), chosen as a model enzyme, was immobilized with sol‐gel on the CNT‐Pt base electrode to construct a biosensor. The current response of the biosensor for cholesterol was very rapid (<20 s). The linear range for cholesterol measurement was 4.0×10^?6 mol/L ?1.0×10^?4 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.4×10^?6 mol/L. The experiments also showed that the ChOx/sol‐gel/CNT‐Pt biosensor was sensitive and stable in detecting cholesterol in serum samples.     

A Selective Cholesterol Biosensor Based on Composite Film Modified Electrode for Amperometric Detection

An amperometric cholesterol biosensor based on immobilization of cholesterol oxidase in a Prussian blue (PB)/polypyrrole (PPy) composite film on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode was fabricated. Hydrogen peroxide produced by the enzymatic reaction was catalytically reduced on the PB film electrode at 0 V with a sensitivity of 39 μA (mol/L)^?1. Cholesterol in the concentration range of 10^?5 ? 10^?4 mol/L was determined with a detection limit of 6 × 10^?7 mol/L by amperometric method. Normal coexisting compounds in the bio‐samples such as ascorbic acid and uric acid do not interfere with the determination. The excellent properties of the sensor in sensitivity and selectivity are attributed to the PB/PPy layer modified on the sensor.

Direct Electrochemistry of Cholesterol Oxidase Immobilized on a Conducting Polymer: Application for a Cholesterol Biosensor

Direct electrochemistry of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) immobilized on the conductive poly‐3′,4′‐diamine‐2,2′,5′,2″‐terthiophene (PDATT) was achieved and used to create a cholesterol biosensor. A well‐defined redox peak was observed, corresponding to the direct electron transfer of the FAD/FADH₂ of ChOx, and the rate constant (k_s) was determined to be 0.75 s^?1. Glutathione (GSH) covalently bonded with PDATT was used as a matrix for conjugating AuNPs, ChOx, and MP, simultaneously. MP co‐immobilized with ChOx on the AuNPs‐GSH/PDATT exhibited an excellent amperometric response to cholesterol. The dynamic range was from 10 to 130 μM with a detection limit of 0.3±0.04 μM.     

Stability Improvement of Prussian Blue by a Protective Cellulose Acetate Membrane for Hydrogen Peroxide Sensing in Neutral Media

The cellulose acetate covered Prussian blue modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/PB/CA) was fabricated as a novel hydrogen peroxide sensor. It was shown by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) that Prussian blue was covered and protected by cellulose acetate perfectly. The modified electrode showed a good electrocatalytic activity for H₂O₂ reduction in neutral aqueous solution. H₂O₂ was detected amperometrically in 0.05 mol/L phosphate buffer solutions (pH 7.0, containing 0.1 mol/L KCl as supporting electrolyte) at an applied potential of ?0.2 V (vs. SCE). The response current was proportional to the concentration of H₂O₂ in the range of 1.0×10^?5 mol/L to 2.5×10^?4 mol/L with the detection limit of 2.2×10^?6 mol/L at a signal to noise ratio 3.     

Improvement of Selectivity and Stability of Amperometric Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide Using Prussian Blue‐PAMAM Supramolecular Complex Membrane as a Catalytic Layer

A novel hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) sensor was fabricated by using a submonolayer of 3‐mercaptopropionic acid (3‐MPA) adsorbed on a polycrystalline gold electrode further reacted with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer (generation 4.0) to obtain a film on which Prussian Blue (PB) was later coordinated to afford a mixed and stable electrocatalytic layer for H₂O₂ reduction. On the basis of the electrochemical behaviors, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X‐ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), it is suggested that the PB molecules are located within the dendritic structure of the surface attached PAMAM dendrimers. It was found that the PB/PAMAM/3‐MPA/Au modified electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic activity for H₂O₂ reduction. The effects of applied potential and pH of solution upon the response of the modified electrode were investigated for an optimum analytical performance. Even in the presence of dissolved oxygen, the sensor exhibited highly sensitive and rapid response to H₂O₂. The steady‐state cathodic current responses of the modified electrode obtained at ?0.20 V (vs. SCE) in air‐saturated 0.1 mol L^?1 phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 6.50) showed a linear relationship to H₂O₂ concentration ranging from 1.2×10^?6 mol L^?1 to 6.5×10^?4 mol L^?1 with a detection limit of 3.1×10^?7 mol L^?1. Performance of the electrode was evaluated with respected to possible interferences such as ascorbic acid and uric acid etc. The selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of the modified electrode were satisfactory.     

A Uric Acid Biosensor Based on Langmuir-Blodgett Film as an Enzyme-Immobilizing Matrix

A uric acid biosensor was fabricated by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique to immobilize the uricase on chitosan/Prussian blue (CS/PB) prefunctionalized indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The effects of ionic strengths, acidity of subphase, and uricase amount on the film were studied. The electrochemical properties of the uricase/n-nonadecanoic acid (UOx/NA) LB film proved that CS/PB was a good electro-catalyst for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide produced by enzymatic reaction of UOx, and protein molecules retained their natural electro-catalytic activity. The linear range of uric acid detection was from 5 × 10^?6 mol/L to 1.15 × 10^?3 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10^?7 mol/L.     

Electrochemical Cholesterol Sensor Based on Tin Oxide‐Chitosan Nanobiocomposite Film

A chitosan (CS)‐tin oxide (SnO₂) nanobiocomposite film has been deposited onto an indium‐tin‐oxide glass plate to immobilize cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) for cholesterol detection. The value of the Michaelis–Menten constant (K_m) obtained as 3.8 mM for ChOx/CS‐SnO₂/ITO is lower (8 mM) than that of a ChOx/CS/ITO bioelectrode revealing enhancement in affinity and/or activity of ChOx towards cholesterol and also revealing strong binding of ChOx onto CS‐SnO₂/ITO electrode. This ChOx/CS‐SnO₂/ITO cholesterol sensor retains 95% of enzyme activity after 4–6 weeks at 4 °C with response time of 5 s, sensitivity of 34.7 μA/mg dL^?1 cm² and detection limit of 5 mg/dL.     

Poly(Neutral Red)/Cholesterol Oxidase Modified Carbon Film Electrode for Cholesterol Biosensing

New amperometric cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) based enzyme biosensors for cholesterol have been developed. The enzyme was immobilised with and without glutaraldehyde cross‐linking on top of carbon film electrodes modified with redox mediators. Mediators tested were: poly(neutral red) (PNR), Prussian blue and cobalt hexacyanoferrates. Amperometric detection of cholesterol showed that PNR/ChOx modified electrodes exhibited the best characteristics; under optimised conditions cholesterol was determined at ?0.4 V vs. SCE with a detection limit of 1.9 µM. The biosensors showed good reproducibility and stability and only a small influence from potential interferents in food. Analyses of cholesterol in egg yolk were successfully performed.     

Study on the Electrochemical Behavior of Dopamine and Uric Acid at a 2‐Amino‐5‐mercapto‐[1,3,4] Triazole Self‐Assembled Monolayers Electrode

Selected from a series of structurally related heteroaromatic thiols, a newly synthesized reagent 2‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐[1,3,4] triazole (MATZ) was used to fabricate self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold electrode for the first time. The MATZ/Au SAMs was characterized by electrochemical methods and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). In 0.04 mol/L Britton–Robinson buffer solution (pH 5), the electrochemical behavior of dopamine showed a quasireversible process at the MATZ/Au SAMs with an electrode kinetic constant 0.1049 cm/s. However, the electrochemical reaction of uric acid at the SAMs electrode showed an irreversible oxidation process, the charge‐transfer kinetics of uric acid was promoted by the SAMs. By Osteryoung square‐wave voltammetry (OSWV), the simultaneous determination of dopamine and uric acid can be accomplished with an oxidation peak separation of 0.24 V, the peak current of dopamine and uric acid were linearly to its concentration in the range of 2.5×10^?6–5.0×10^?4 mol/L for dopamine and 1×10^?6–1×10^?4 mol/L for uric acid with a detection limit of 8.0×10^?7 mol/L for dopamine and 7.0×10^?7 mol/L for uric acid. The MATZ/Au SAMs electrode was used to detect the content of uric acid in real urine and serum sample with satisfactory results.     

Determination of furanic aldehydes in sugarcane bagasse by high‐performance liquid chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection using a modified electrode with nickel nanoparticles

A glassy carbon electrode chemically modified with nickel nanoparticles coupled with reversed‐phase chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection was used for the quantitative analysis of furanic aldehydes in a real sample of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate. Chromatographic separation was carried out in isocratic conditions (acetonitrile/water, 1:9) with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, a detection potential of – 50 mV vs. Pd, and the process was completed within 4 min. The analytical curves presented limits of detection of 4.0 × 10^?7 mol/L and 4.3 × 10^?7 mol/L, limits of quantification of 1.3 × 10^?6 and 1.4 × 10^?6 mol/L, amperometric sensitivities of 2.2 × 10⁶ nA mol/L and 2.7 × 10⁶ nA mol/L for furfural and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, respectively. The values obtained in this sample by the standard addition method were 1.54 ± 0.02 g/kg for 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural and 11.5 ± 0.2 g/kg for furfural. The results demonstrate that this new proposed method can be used for the quick detection of furanic aldehydes without the interference of other electroactive species, besides having other remarkable merits that include excellent peak resolution, analytical repeatability, sensitivity, and accuracy.

Based on single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/SWCNTs), a novel method was presented for the determination of L ‐tyrosine. The GCE/SWCNTs exhibited remarkable catalytic and enhanced effects on the oxidation of L ‐tyrosine. In 0.10 mol/L citric acid‐sodium citrate buffer solution, the oxidation potential of L ‐tyrosine shifted negatively from +1.23 V at bare GCE to +0.76 V at GCE/SWCNTs. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear range of the modified electrode to the concentration of L ‐tyrosine was 5.0×10^?6–2.0×10^?5 mol/L (R₁=0.9952) and 2.7×10^?5–2.6×10^?4 mol/L (R₂=0.9998) with a detection limit of 9.3×10^?8 mol/L. The kinetic parameters such as α (charge transfer coefficient) and D (diffusion coefficient) were evaluated to be 0.66, 9.82×10^?5 cm² s^?1, respectively. And the electrochemical mechanism of L ‐tyrosine was also discussed.     

In Vivo Monitoring of the Thiols in Rat Striatum by Liquid Chromatography with Amperometric Detection at a Functionalized Multi‐Wall Carbon Nanotubes Modified Electrode

A new chemically modified electrode (CME) was fabricated, which was based on the immobilization of multi‐wall carbon nanotubes fuctionalized with carboxylic group (MWNT‐COOH). The results indicated that the CME exhibited efficiently electrocatalytic oxidation for L ‐cysteine and glutathione with relatively high sensitivity, stability and long‐life. Coupled with HPLC, the MWNT‐COOH CME was utilized for amperometric detection of the thiols. The peak currents of L ‐cysteine and glutathione were linear to their concentrations ranging from 3.0×10^?7 to 1.0×10^?3 mol/L with the calculated detection limit (S/N=3) of 1.2×10^?7, 2.2×10^?7 mol/L, respectively. The method had been successfully applied to assess the contents of L ‐cysteine and glutathione in rat striatal microdialysates.     

Carbon Nanotubes‐Based Amperometric Cholesterol Biosensor Fabricated Through Layer‐by‐Layer Technique

A carbon nanotubes‐based amperometric cholesterol biosensor has been fabricated through layer‐by‐layer (LBL) deposition of a cationic polyelectrolyte (PDDA, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)‐modified gold electrode, followed by electrochemical generation of a nonconducting poly(o‐phenylenediamine) (PPD) film as the protective coating. Electrochemical impedance measurements have shown that PDDA/ChOx multilayer film could be formed uniformly on MWNTs‐modified gold electrode. Due to the strong electrocatalytic properties of MWNTs toward H₂O₂ and the low permeability of PPD film for electroacitve species, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid and acetaminophen, the biosensor has shown high sensitivity and good anti‐interferent ability in the detection of cholesterol. The effect of the pH value of the detection solution on the response of the biosensor was also investigated. A linear range up to 6.0 mM has been observed for the biosensor with a detection limit of 0.2 mM. The apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant and the maximum response current density were calculated to be 7.17 mM and 7.32 μA cm^?2, respectively.     

Determination of L‐Vesamicol in Serum Samples Using Enantioselective,Potentiometric Membrane Electrodes Based on Antibiotics

Abstract

Enantioselective, potentiometric membrane electrodes (EPMEs) based on antibiotics are proposed for the enantioanalysis of L‐vesamicol. A carbon paste was modified with antibiotics (vancomycin, teicoplanin, and teicoplanin modified with acetonitrile), as chiral selectors. The EPMEs based on antibiotics were reliably used for enantiopurity tests of L‐vesamicol using the direct potentiometric technique. The following linear concentration ranges: 1.0×10^?6–1.0×10^?4, 1.0×10^?6–1×10^?3 and 1×10^?7?1×10^?2 mol/L; and detection limits: 1.1×10^?7, 9.6×10^?8, and 3.6×10^?8 mol/L were determine for vancomycin, teicoplanin, and teicoplanin modified with acetonitrile–based EPMEs, respectively. The proposed EPMEs were applied for the enantioanalysis of L‐vesamicol in urine samples.

A bismuth/multi‐walled carbon nanotube (Bi/MWNT) composite modified electrode for determination of cobalt by differential pulse adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry is described. The electrode is fabricated by potentiostatic pre‐plating bismuth film on an MWNT modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The Bi/MWNT composite modified electrode exhibits enhanced sensitivity for cobalt detection as compared with the bare GC, MWNT modified and bismuth film electrodes. Numerous key experimental parameters have been examined for optimum analytical performance of the proposed electrode. With an adsorptive accumulation of the Co(II)‐dimethylglyoxime complex at ?0.8 V for 200 s, the reduction peak current is proportional to the concentration of cobalt in the range of 4.0×10^?10?1.0×10^?7 mol/L with a lower detection limit of 8.1×10^?11 mol/L. The proposed method has been applied successfully to cobalt determination in seawater and lake water samples.
