Co-immobilization of polymeric luminol,iron(II) tris(5-aminophenanthroline) and glucose oxidase at an electrode surface,and its application as a glucose optrode

The anodic polymerization of 3-aminophthalhydrazide (luminol) and iron(II) tris 5-aminophenanthroline (Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)) has been reported in this paper. A bilayer electrode was developed based on these polymers and the ITO conductive glass (denoted ITO[Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)]luminol electrode). This electrode emitted light (lambdaem: 430 nm) as it was brought into contact with H2O2. At pH 10, the resulting electrochemiluminescence (ECL) showed a linear relationship with the concentration of H2O2 in the range of 10 microM(-1) mM. This bilayer electrode also showed an application potential for the detection of glucose after being further modified with glucose oxidase (denoted ITO[Fe(phen-NH2)3(2+)]luminol]GOx electrode). Although the resulting ECL decayed more rapidly in concentrated glucose solutions (e.g., I M) because of the consumption of luminol during use, the decay became less severe in diluted glucose solutions (e.g., 10 mM). According to the flow injection analysis, a linear relationship existed between the ECL and the concentration of glucose from 10(-5)-10(-3) M at pH 9. The detection limit could reach a level of 5 x 10(-5) M at this pH.     

The enhanced electrochemiluminescence of luminol on the nickel phthalocyanine modified electrode

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with nickel(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine (NiTSPc) and Nafion was used for the investigation of the catalytic oxidation of luminol. The modified electrode was found to much more effectively improve the emission of electrochemiluminescence(ECL) of luminol in a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The enhanced ECL signal corresponded to the catalytic oxidation of both luminol and H(2)O(2) by NiTSPc. Attached Ni(II) on GCE was oxidised to Ni(III) and then used as the catalyst for the chemiluminescence of luminol. The enhanced stability of the ECL signal with Nafion would mainly result from the prevention of the dissolution of NiTSPc and the adsorption of the oxidation product of luminol on the electrode surface. The proposed method enables a detection limit for luminal of 6.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) to be achieved in the presence of H(2)O(2) in the neutral solution. The enhanced ECL intensity had a linear relationship with the concentration of luminol in the range of 1.0 x 10(-7)-8.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1).     

基于Ru(bpy)■-三乙胺体系的电致化学发光生物传感器检测葡萄糖

联吡啶钌(Ru(bpy)■)拥有优良的电致化学发光(ECL)性能,但其较好的水溶性使其固载面临巨大问题。该文制备了Pt纳米粒子与Ru(bpy)■的复合物(Pt NPs-Ru),将其修饰于电极并进一步固载葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)制得传感器。基于H2O2对Ru(bpy)■-三乙胺体系ECL信号的猝灭作用,随着葡萄糖浓度的增加,其在GOx的催化下原位产生的H2O2量增多,导致ECL信号逐渐减弱,从而实现葡萄糖的检测。ECL强度与葡萄糖浓度的对数在1.0×10-8~5.0×10-5 mol/L范围内呈良好的线性关系,检出限低至5.2×10-9 mol/L。传感器具有好的稳定性和高的选择性。Pt NPs-Ru复合物为ECL传感器的构建提供了良好平台,为葡萄糖检测提供了新方法。

An electrochemiluminescent biosensor for glucose based on the electrochemiluminescence of luminol on the nafion/glucose oxidase/poly(nickel(II)tetrasulfophthalocyanine)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified electrode

A poly(nickel(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes composite modified electrode (polyNiTSPc/MWNTs) was fabricated by electropolymerization of NiTSPc on MWNTs-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The modified electrode was found to be able to greatly improve the emission of luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in a solution containing hydrogen peroxide. Glucose oxidase (GOD) was immobilized on the surface of polyNiTSPc/MWNTs modified GC electrode by Nafion to establish an ECL glucose sensor. Under the optimum conditions, the linear response range of glucose was 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 8.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ (defined as the concentration that could be detected at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The ECL sensor showed an outstanding well reproducibility and long-term stability. The established method has been applied to determine the glucose concentrations in real serum samples with satisfactory results.     

Flow-injection electrogenerated chemiluminescence detection of hydrazine based on its in-situ electrochemical modification at a pre-anodized platinum electrode

In this paper. it was found that the enhancing effect of hydrazine on the weak electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) signal of the electrooxidation of luminol at a pre-anodized platinum electrode was stronger than that of hydrazine at a bare platinum electrode. Based on this finding and the combination of this finding with a flow-injection technique, a novel, sensitive and selective ECL method for hydrazine was developed. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity was linear with hydrazine concentration over the range 2.0 x 10(-8) - 5.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1), with a detection limit of 6.0 x 10(-9) mol L(-1).     

Highly sensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence biosensor in profiling protein kinase activity and inhibition using a multifunctional nanoprobe

We presented a novel electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for monitoring the activity and inhibition of protein kinases based on signal amplification using enzyme-functionalized Au NPs nanoprobe. In this design, the biotin-DNA labeled glucose oxidase/Au NPs (GOx/Au NPs/DNA-biotin) nanoprobes, prepared by conjugating Au NPs with biotin-DNA and GOx, were bound to the biotinylated anti-phosphoserine labeled phosphorylated peptide modified electrode surface through a biotin−avidin interaction. The GOx assembled on the nanoprobe can catalyze glucose to generate H₂O₂ in the presence of O₂ while the ECL reaction occurred in the luminol ECL biosensor. At a higher concentration of kinase, there are more nanoprobes on the electrode, which gives a higher amount of GOx at the electrode interface and thus higher electrocatalytic efficiency to the luminol ECL reaction. Therefore, the activity of protein kinases can be monitored by ECL with high sensitivity. Protein kinase A (PKA), an important enzyme in regulation of glycogen, sugar, and lipid metabolism in the human body, was used as a model to confirm the present proof-of-concept strategy. The as-proposed biosensor presents high sensitivity, low detection limit of 0.013 U mL⁻¹, wide linear range (from 0.02 to 40 U mL⁻¹), and excellent stability. Moreover, this biosensor can also be used for quantitative analysis of kinase inhibition. On the basis of the inhibitor concentration dependent ECL signal, the half-maximal inhibition value IC₅₀ of ellagic acid, a typical PKA inhibitor, was estimated, which is in agreement with those obtained using the conventional kinase assay. The simple and sensitive biosensor is promising in developing a high-through assay of in vitro kinase activity and inhibitor screening for clinic diagnostic and drug development.     

Single‐Wall Carbon Nanotube Paste Electrodes: a Comparison with Carbon Paste,Platinum and Glassy Carbon Electrodes via Cyclic Voltammetric Data

A new carbon electrode material, obtained by mixing single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with a mineral oil binder is studied. Carbon nanotube pastes show the special properties of carbon nanotubes combined with the various advantages of composite electrodes such as a very low capacitance (background current) and the possibility of an easy preparation, modification and renewal. A better knowledge of the characteristics of electrode reactions at carbon nanotube paste (CNTP) electrodes was obtained studying the electron transfer rates of various redox couples under different pretreatment conditions. A critical comparison with carbon paste (CP), platinum (Pt) and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes was also carried out. Capacitance and resistance values were also calculated for all electrodes investigated. Both untreated and treated CNTP electrodes showed a low resistance while the capacitance was markedly reduced with CNTP electrodes previously treated with concentrated nitric acid. An electrochemical pretreatment on CNTP electrodes was developed which showed an excellent result towards two‐electron quinonic structure species. After this treatment the heterogeneous standard rate constants for p‐methylaminophenol sulfate (MAP) and dopamine resulted to be significantly higher (2.1×10^?2 cm/s and 2.0×10^?2 cm/s, respectively) than those obtained with the other electrodes studied. Reproducibility, stability and storage characteristics of CNTP electrodes were also reported.

Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemiluminescence of luminol-reduced gold nanoparticles and their application in a hydrogen peroxide sensor

It was found that chloroauric acid (HAuCl(4)) could be directly reduced by the luminescent reagent luminol in aqueous solution to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the size of which depended on the amount of luminol. The morphology and surface state of as-prepared AuNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, UV/visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. All results indicated that residual luminol and its oxidation product 3-aminophthalate coexisted on the surface of AuNPs through the weak covalent interaction between gold and nitrogen atoms in their amino groups. Subsequently, a luminol-capped AuNP-modified electrode was fabricated by the immobilization of AuNPs on a gold electrode by virtue of cysteine molecules and then immersion in a luminol solution. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The as-prepared modified electrode exhibited an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) response in alkaline aqueous solution under a double-step potential. H2O2 was found to enhance the ECL. On this basis, an ECL sensor for the detection of H2O2 was developed. The method is simple, fast, and reagent free. It is applicable to the determination of H2O2 in the range of 3x10(-7)-1x10(-3) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 1x10(-7) mol L(-1) (S/N=3).

Based on a new electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) analytical idea, this paper explains a sensitive and selective flow-injection ECL method using luminol for the determination of isoniazid, based on the sensitizing effect of isoniazid for the weak ECL emission of electrochemically oxidized luminol. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity was linear with isoniazid concentration in the range of 4.0 x 10(-8) mol/L to 8.0 x 10(-6) mol/L and with a detecting limit of 2.8 x 10(-8) mol/L.     

A new electrochemiluminescent sensing system for glucose based on the electrochemiluminescent reaction of bis-[3,4,6-trichloro-2-(pentyloxycarbonyl)-phenyl] oxalate

In this paper, the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of bis-[3,4,6-trichloro-2-(pentyloxycarbonyl)-phenyl] oxalate (BTPPO) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in phosphate buffer solution in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated when linear sweep voltammetry was applied. The optimum chemical conditions and electrochemical parameters for this ECL system have been investigated in detail. Under the optimum conditions, it was found that the concentration of BTPPO was linear with the ECL intensity in the range of 3.0 × l0⁻⁶ to 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) for BTPPO was 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ mol/L. The possible mechanism for ECL of BTPPO at the GCE in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was also discussed. Furthermore, based on the fact that glucose oxidase can react with glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide, a new ECL sensing system of BTPPO has been developed for detection of glucose. The enhanced ECL intensity has a linear relationship with the concentration of glucose in the range of 1.0 × l0⁻⁴ to 1.0 × 10⁻³ mol/L, and the detection limit for glucose is found to be 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L (S/N = 3).     

Enhanced electrochemiluminescence employed for the selective detection of methyl parathion based on a zirconia nanoparticle film modified electrode

A simple, rapid and sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was proposed for direct measurements of methyl parathion (MP) based on the strong affinity of a nano zirconia particles (ZrO(2) NPs) modified film on the electrode to the phosphoric group. ZrO(2) NPs, which could provide a larger absorption area to immobilize organophosphorus, was firstly modified on the glassy carbon electrode surface to prepare the proposed ECL sensor (ZrO(2)/GC). Subsequently, the ZrO(2)/GC electrode was scanned from -0.8 to +0.6 V to obtain the background signal at 0.44 V in a luminol/KCl solution. Then, a certain concentration of MP was added to an aqueous solution for 240 s, which was absorbed onto the ZrO(2)/GC electrode surface. Moreover, the MP absorbed on the surface of the ZrO(2)/GC electrode enhanced the ECL signal of luminol in the luminol/KCl solution, which increased with the concentration of MP. As a result, a novel ECL sensor was obtained in a luminol/KCl solution. The MP was determined in the range of from 3.8 × 10(-11) to 3.8 × 10(-6) mol L(-1), with a low detection limit of 1.27 × 10(-11) mol L(-1) (S/N = 3). The proposed ECL sensor performance for MP detection will open a new field in the application of rapid and screen detection of ultra-trace amounts of organ phosphorus pesticides (OPs) of vegetables used in farm markets.     

A method to determine quercetin by enhanced luminol electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and quercetin autoxidation

Quercetin greatly enhanced luminol electrochemiluminescence of quercetin in alkaline solution. When the concentration of luminol was 0.1 mol L(-1), the detection limit for quercetin was 2.0x10(-8) mol L(-1) with a linear range from 1.0x10(-7) to 2x10(-5) mol L(-1). The pH and buffer substantially affected ECL intensity. Quercetin was autoxidized in alkaline aqueous solution. The rate of autoxidation of quercetin in various pH buffers and borate concentrations were measured. Borate was found to inhibit quercetin autoxidation and compromise quercetin enhancement effect on luminol ECL to some extent. Two final autoxidation products were identified with LC-MS methods. Autoxidation process was associated with enhancement of ECL intensity. The ROS generated during quercetin autoxidation enhanced the ECL intensity.

Covalent attachment of glucose oxidase to an Au electrode modified with gold nanoparticles for use as glucose biosensor

A feasible method to fabricate glucose biosensor was developed by covalent attachment of glucose oxidase (GOx) to a gold nanoparticle monolayer modified Au electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of ferrocyanide followed and confirmed the assemble process of biosensor, and indicated that the gold nanoparticles in the biosensing interface efficiently improved the electron transfer between analyte and electrode surface. CV performed in the presence of excess glucose and artificial redox mediator, ferrocenemethanol, allowed to quantify the surface concentration of electrically wired enzyme (Gamma(E)(0)) on the basis of kinetic models reported in literature. The Gamma(E)(0) on proposed electrode was high to 4.1 x 10(-12) mol.cm(-2), which was more than four times of that on electrode direct immobilization of enzyme by cystamine without intermediate layer of gold nanoparticles and 2.4 times of a saturated monolayer of GOx on electrode surface. The analytical performance of this biosensor was investigated by amperometry. The sensor provided a linear response to glucose over the concentration range of 2.0 x 10(-5)-5.7 x 10(-3) M with a sensitivity of 8.8 microA.mM(-1).cm(-2) and a detection limit of 8.2 microM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)(app)) for the sensor was found to be 4.3 mM. In addition, the sensor has good reproducibility, and can remain stable over 30 days.

Amperometric glucose biosensor based on electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles onto covalently immobilized carbon nanotube electrode

A new amperometric biosensor for glucose was developed based on adsorption of glucose oxidase (GOx) at the gold and platinum nanoparticles-modified carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode. CNTs were covalently immobilized on gold electrode via carbodiimide chemistry by forming amide linkages between carboxylic acid groups on the CNTs and amine residues of cysteamine self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The fabricated GOx/Au_nano/Pt_nano/CNT electrode was covered with a thin layer of Nafion to avoid the loss of GOx in determination and to improve the anti-interferent ability. The immobilization of CNTs on the gold electrode was characterized by quartz crystal microbalance technique. The morphologies of the CNT/gold and Pt_nano/CNT/gold electrodes have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrochemical performance of the gold, CNT/gold, Pt_nano/gold and Pt_nano/CNT/gold electrodes has also been studied by amperometric method. In addition, effects of electrodeposition time of Pt nanoparticles, pH value, applied potential and electroactive interferents on the amperometric response of the sensor were discussed.

The enzyme electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and rapid response for glucose in the absence of a mediator. The linear range was from 0.5 to 17.5 mM with correction coefficient of 0.996. The biosensor had good reproducibility and stability for the determination of glucose.     

An ultrasensitive luminol cathodic electrochemiluminescence immunosensor based on glucose oxidase and nanocomposites: Graphene–carbon nanotubes and gold-platinum alloy

In the present study, a novel and ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on luminol cathodic ECL was fabricated by using Au nanoparticles and Pt nanoparticles (nano-AuPt) electrodeposited on graphene–carbon nanotubes nanocomposite as platform for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). For this introduced immunosensor, graphene (GR) and single wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in chitosan (Chi-GR-CNTs) were firstly decorated on the bare gold electrode (GE) surface. Then nano-AuPt were electrodeposited (DpAu-Pt) on the Chi-GR-CNTs modified electrode. Subsequently, glucose oxidase (GOD) was employed to block the non-specific sites of electrode surface. When glucose was present in the working buffer solution, GOD immediately catalyzed the oxidation of glucose to in situ generate hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which could subsequently promote the oxidation of luminol with an amplified cathodic ECL signal. The proposed immunosensor was performed at low potential (−0.1 to 0.4 V) and low concentration of luminol. The CEA was determined in the range of 0.1 pg mL⁻¹ to 40 ng mL⁻¹ with a limit of detection down to 0.03 pg mL⁻¹ (S N⁻¹ = 3). Moreover, with excellent sensitivity, selectivity, stability and simplicity, the as-proposed luminol-based ECL immunosensor provided great potential in clinical applications.
