Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide Concentrations By Flow Injection Analysis Based On the Enhanced Chemiluminescent Reaction Using Peroxidase

Abstract

The technique of flow injection analysis was employed in the determination of hydrogen peroxide. the method was based on the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol with H₂O₂ which is catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase and enhanced by p-iodophenol. Hydrogen peroxide was linearly detected in the range 10^?6M-10^?4M by measuring the maximum intensity of light emitted. the detection limit is about 1 · 10^?6M hydrogen peroxide. Transition metal cations at millimolar concentrations do not have any interference on the determination of hydrogen peroxide by FIA based on the enhanced chemiluminescent reaction. This technique is relatively rapid and simple, and permits measurement of up to 80 samples/hr using generally available equipment.     

Amperometric Biosensor for Adenosine-5′-Triphosphate Based on a Platinum-Dispersed Carbon Paste Enzyme Electrode

Abstract

A new amperometric biosensor for adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) was designed using a platinum-dispersed carbon paste into which glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase were incorporated. The biosensor is based on the detection of hydrogen peroxide produced by the enzymatic reaction of ATP with glycerol and the subsequent oxidation of glycerol-3-phosphate. The use of the platinum-dispersed carbon paste electrode lowered the oxidation potential for hydrogen peroxide, permitting the sensitive detection of ATP at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl. A linear response to ATP was observed in the concentration range of 1 x 10^?5 to 2.5 x 10^?3 M.

Study On The Catalytic Reaction Of β-Cd-Hemin Using 2, 3, 4-Trichlorophenol As Substrate And Analytic Application

ABSTRACT|The catalytic activity of various mimetic enzymes instead of the peroxidase have been investigated by 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) and 2, 3, 4-trichlorophenol (TCP) to form a dye utilizing hydrogen peroxide as hydrogen acceptor. The different Chlorophenolic derivatives, which act as a substrate in β-CD-hemin-H₂O₂-4-AAP catalytic reaction, have been systematically studied.|Meanwhile, the relationship of structure-effect for the β-CD-hemin as catalyst, and chlorphenols as substrate has been respectively discussed. The mechanism of catalytic reaction has been investigated. The results showed that β-CD-hemin was the best mimetic enzyme for peroxidase among those tested and TCP was a good substrate for the determination of hydrogen peroxide with β-CD-hemin. The method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was proposed using 4-AAP-TCP system with β-CD-hemin as catalyst. A linear calibration graph was obtained over the H₂O₂ concentration of 4.8×10-^?8-7.7×10-^?5M, and the relative standard deviation at a H₂O₂ concentration of 2.8×10-^?5M was 2.5%. The apparent molar absorptivity of the chromogenic reaction for H₂O₂ was 1.54× 10⁴ L.mol-^?1.cm^?1. Satisfactory results were obtained in the determination of H₂O₂ in synthetic samples by this method.

Also, the method was coupled with the glucose oxidation reaction to determination glucose in human serum.

ABSTRACT

The performance of a first generation glucose amperometric biosensor based on the entrapment of glucose oxidase (GOx) within a net of copper electrodeposited onto activated glassy carbon electrode, is described. The copper electrodeposited offers an efficient electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of enzymatically-liberated hydrogen peroxide, allowing for a fast and sensitive glucose quantification.

The response is linear up to 2.0 × 10^?2 M glucose, the detection limit being 1.2 × 10^?3 M.

Abstract

Platinum nanowires (PtNW) were prepared by an electrodeposition strategy using nanopore alumina template. The nanowires prepared were dispersed in chitosan (CHIT) solution and stably immobilized onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE).

The resulting glucose biosensor exhibited a short response time (<8 s), with a linear range of 10^?5?10^?2 M and detection limit of 5×10^?6 M.

Abstract

The multiwalled carbon nanotube–nickel hydroxide composite film used to modify glassy carbon electrode was prepared and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

About 75 samples can be analyzed per hour.

New Approach to Determination of Phenoxyl Free Radicals by Stopped‐Flow Spectrofluorimetry

Abstract

A simple and highly sensitive method to quantify the rates of production of phenoxyl radicals in enzyme reaction is described. This method employs the peroxidase‐catalyzed reaction between chlorophenols and hydroperoxide to generate phenoxyl free radicals, which can enhance dimerization of L‐tyrosine. The product, dityrosine, was monitored fluorometrically at the excitation/emission wavelength of 320/410 nm and the initial rate of accelerated‐accumulation of dityrosine represents the formation rate of phenoxyl free radicals. With this method, the phenoxyl radicals generated in oxidation of chlorophenols with hydrogen peroxide, catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase, were investigated. Phenoxyl radicals generated from as low as 5.0×10^?9 M 2,4‐dichlorophenol, for example, can be readily detected with a relative standard deviation of 2.6% for 9 replicated determination. The detection limits of phenoxyl radicals produced by various chlorophenols are 4.2×10^?9, 1.1×10^?9, 1.0×10^?10, 2.8×10^?8, and 1.1×10^?7 M for 2‐chlorophenol, 4‐chlorophenol, 2,4‐dichlorophenol, 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol, and 2,3,4,6‐tetrachlorophenol, respectively. The possible pathway of the reaction is proposed. The protocol is suitable for quantification of free radicals in enzyme reaction and shows promise in being applied to biological systems.

Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Glucose Oxidase Encapsulated in Carbon Nanotube–Titania–Nafion Composite Film on Platinized Glassy Carbon Electrode

A highly sensitive and selective glucose biosensor has been developed based on immobilization of glucose oxidase within mesoporous carbon nanotube–titania–Nafion composite film coated on a platinized glassy carbon electrode. Synergistic electrocatalytic activity of carbon nanotubes and electrodeposited platinum nanoparticles on electrode surface resulted in an efficient reduction of hydrogen peroxide, allowing the sensitive and selective quantitation of glucose by the direct reduction of enzymatically‐liberated hydrogen peroxide at ?0.1 V versus Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl) without a mediator. The present biosensor responded linearly to glucose in the wide concentration range from 5.0×10^?5 to 5.0×10^?3 M with a good sensitivity of 154 mA M^?1cm^?2. Due to the mesoporous nature of CNT–titania–Nafion composite film, the present biosensor exhibited very fast response time within 2 s. In addition, the present biosensor did not show any interference from large excess of ascorbic acid and uric acid.
