Modified electrodes from hydrophobic alkoxide silica gels—Insertion of electroactive compounds and glucose oxidase

Silica gels issued either from alkoxides or from colloidal silica are well known to be suitable materials for the immobilization of optically active probes or catalytically active chemicals. Recently it has been demonstrated that an enzyme like glucose oxidase could be immobilized into silica gels and glasses and still was able to retain a part of its activity.Recently, we have demonstrated that gels, either from silica or from transition metals, were appropriate mediums to perform electrochemistry, due to their high content of free solvent. It was a natural development of such studies to prepare modified electrodes from gels. We have developped two kinds of system.On one hand modified electrodes starting from hydrophobic DEDMS/TMMS (dimethoxydimethylsilane and trimethoxymethylsilane in various proportions) gels with small organic electroactive compounds incorporated have been prepared in which the electroactive probe is retained due to the hydrophobic balance of the gel. Such gels are adherent to the electrode and they present the electrochemistry of the electroactive probe included. Different conditions of preparation and drying of the gels are presented in relation with their influence on the behaviour of the modified electrode.On the other hand, glucose oxidase has been incorporated with a water soluble ferrocene as a mediator in silica gels made from colloids (NYACOL), and its catalytic activity has been experienced following the electrochemistry of the ferrocene. The electrochemical response in the presence of glucose is typical of the homogeneous response and the influence of the different parameters, governing the catalysis will be discussed.     

二茂铁衍生物电子传递剂键合的溶胶-凝胶葡萄糖生物传感器

The sol-gel derived glucose biosensor was developed, and the sol-gel membrane was organically modified by N-（3-triethoxysilylpropyl）-ferrocenylmethylamine （FcSi） as sol-gel precursor to make electrochemical biosensor. The structure of biosensor was sol-gel/FcSi＋GOx/GC type （glucose oxidase, GOx）. The ferrocene mediator was chemically immobilized to the silane network, and GOx was entrapped to the sol-gel glass network. Therefore, these structures prevented mediator leakage and retained the enzyme activity. Additionally, pH of electrolyte, temperature effects, and interference of positive substances with biosensor were investigated. And the electrochemical performance of biosensor was studied by amperometry. The results indicated that the linear range, detection limit. and response slope of biosensor was 2.00×10^-4-1.57×10^-3 mol·L^-1, 2.0×10^-4 mol·L^-1 and 5.06×10^5 nA·mol^- 1·L, respectively.     

Study on the United Glucose Oxidase Electrode Constructed by Composite Electrode

A novel type of united glucose oxidase (GOD) electrode was designed. Glucose oxidase and ferrocene (Fc), which was a mediator, were added into the composite electrode that was constructed by graphite powder, acetylene black, and epoxy resin. These three materials in composite electrode kept constant proportion in weight. And the optimum amounts of GOD and Fc among united enzyme electrode were 5% and 2%, respectively. The glucose was detected linearly in the concentration range 0.01–9.0 mM with a 20-s steady-state response time and 36 nA/mM of the sensitivity at 0.15 V applied potential. And electrode fouling problem and the response current from the interferents were avoided. The response current of the united GOD electrode had no obvious deterioration within 80 days when stored at 4°C in a refrigerator. The detecting results of human serum by the united GOD electrode had good consistency with that by standard enzyme method. The maximum deviation between these two detecting values was 5%. It might be used for detecting the blood sugar in clinical assay.

Biphenol as an Electron Transfer Mediator for Glucose Oxidase

Abstract

Biphenol (4,4′-dihydroxy-biphenyl) was found to be an electron transfer mediator for glucose oxidase (GOD) of Aspergillus niger. At a glassy carbon electrode, a 1.44×10^-4 M solution of biphenol in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 gives an quasi-reversible, one-electron, pH-sensitive couple at 255mV (relative to the standard calomel electrode). The apparent second-order rate constant for electron transfer from reduced GOD to oxidized biphenol was determined to be 3×10⁵ M^-1 s^-1. When biphenol and GOD are cophysiadsorbed on a graphite electrode immersed in PBS and held at 400mV, a glucose-dependent current response is noted. In addition to the predominant quasi-reversible biphenol redox couple, repetitive cyclic voltammetry at a graphite electrode gave rise to a polybiphenol polymer; this is most marked at a pH above the biphenol pK_a of about 9.5. At pH 7.4, the polymerization is less significant. Polybiphenol formed either side of the pK_a remains electrochemically active (E°_app. = 245mV) but no longer mediates GOD.

表面可更新的石墨陶瓷葡萄糖生物传感器研究

A surface-renewable glucose biosensor is reported. The glucose biosensor is developed using glucose oxidase (GOD) encapsulated in organically modified solgel glass (ORMOSIL) network in the composite matetial. The organic group in the ORMOSIL network controls the hydrophobicity of the electrode surface and thus limits the wettability of the electrode surface. The graphite powder provides the conductivity for the electrode.Ferrocenecarboxylic acid in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0) transfers electron between enzyme and electrode. Cyclic volammetry and amperometric measurements have been used to exmine the electrochemical behavior of glucose biosensor as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig.2. The electrode gives a linear response range of 1 -20mM glucose with a sensitivity of 3.26 μA· mM-1. The electrode can be renewed easily in reproducible manner by a simple polishing step.     

Glucose oxidase electrodes of polyaniline,poly(o‐toluidine) and their copolymer as a biosensor: a comparative study

A simple technique is described for constructing a glucose sensor by the entrapment of glucose oxidase (GOD) in a polyaniline (PA), poly(o‐toluidine) (POT) and their copolymer poly(aniline‐co‐o‐toluidine) (PA‐co‐POT) thin films, which were electrochemically deposited on a platinum plate in phosphate and acetate buffer. The maximum current response was observed for PA, POT, and PA‐co‐POT GOD electrodes at pH 5.5 and potential 0.60 V (v. Ag/AgCl). The phosphate buffer gives fast response as compared to acetate buffer in amperometric measurements. PA GOD electrode shows the fastest response followed by PA‐co‐POT and POT GOD electrodes.

Determination of Glucose in Diluted Blood with a Thermal Flow Injection Analysis Biosensor

Abstract

The glucose concentration in diluted whole blood has been measured, using a miniaturized thermal biosensor based on the enzyme thermistor principle. The biosensor is a small flow injection system. A sample volume of 20μl is injected into a flow of 50μl/min. The heat produced when the sample passes the enzyme column is measured with a thermistor connected to a Wheatstone bridge. The enzyme column contains glucose oxidase and catalase co-immobilized on a solid support material. Samples of whole blood usually cause problems in flow-systems. The blood cells tend to block the enzyme column and the back pressure increases. We have tested a superporous agarose material as enzyme support material using tenfold diluted samples of whole human blood. The blood was collected from the finger-tip and diluted with buffer containing an anticoagulant and sodium fluoride. The number of samples possible to inject and the accuracy compared to the Boehringer Mannheim Reflolux have been determined. At least 100 ten-fold diluted blood samples could be injected on a micro-column of superporous agarose. The obtained glucose concentration correlated well with the one obtained with the reference instrument.

Glucose Biosensor Using Glucose Oxidase Immobilized in Polyaniline

A biosensor for glucose utilizing kinetics of glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4.) was developed. The enzyme was immobilized on polyaniline by covalent bonding, using glutaraldehyde as a bifunctional agent. The system showed a linear response up to 2.2 mM of glucose with a response time of 2.5–4.0 min. In addition, the immobilized enzyme had a higher activity between pH 6.5 and 7.5. The system retained 50% of its activity after 30 d of daily use. The optical absorption spectra of the polyaniline/glucose oxidase electrode after glucose had been added to the buffer solution showed that the absorption band around 800 nm had changed considerably when glucose was allowed to react with the electrode. This optical variation makes polyaniline a very promising polymer for use as a support in optical sensor for clinical application.

Glucose Biosensor Based on Oxygen Electrode Part III: Long-Term Performance of the Glucose Biosensor in Blood Plasma at Body Temperature

Abstract

A potentially implantable glucose biosensor for continuous monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic patients has been developed. The glucose biosensor is based on an amperometric oxygen electrode and Glucose Oxidase immobilized on carbon powder held in a form of a liquid suspension. The enzyme material can be replaced (the sensor recharged) without sensor disassembly. Glucose diffusion membranes from polycarbonate (PC) and from polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) coated with silastic are used.

Sensors were evaluated continuously operating in phosphate buffer solution and in undiluted blood plasma at body temperature. Calibration curves of the sensors were periodically obtained. The sensors show stable performance during at least 1200 hours of operation without refilling of the enzyme. The PTFE membrane demonstrates high mechanical stability and is little effected by long-term operation in undiluted blood plasma.     

Avidin and Glucose Oxidase‐non‐covalently Functionalized Multi‐walled Carbon Nanotubes: A New Analytical Tool for Building a Bienzymatic Glucose Biosensor

We report an innovative supramolecular architecture for bienzymatic glucose biosensing based on the non‐covalently functionalization of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with two proteins, glucose oxidase (GOx) (to recognize glucose) and avidin (to allow the specific anchoring of biotinylated horseradish peroxidase (b‐HRP)). The optimum functionalization was obtained by sonicating for 10 min 0.50 mg mL^?1 MWCNTs in a solution of 2.00 mg mL^?1 GOx+1.00 mg mL^?1avidin prepared in 50 : 50 v/v ethanol/water. The sensitivity to glucose for glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with MWCNTs‐GOx‐avidin dispersion and b‐HRP (GCE/MWCNTs‐GOx‐avidin/b‐HRP), obtained from amperometric experiments performed at ?0.100 V in the presence of 5.0×10^?4 M hydroquinone, was (4.8±0.3) μA mM^?1 (r²=0.9986) and the detection limit was 1.2 μM. The reproducibility for 5 electrodes using the same MWCNTs/GOx‐avidin dispersion was 4.0 %, while the reproducibility for 3 different dispersions and 9 electrodes was 6.0 %. The GCE/MWCNT‐GOx‐avidin/b‐HRP was successfully used for the quantification of glucose in a pharmaceutical product and milk.

Glucose Biosensor Based on the Fabrication of Glucose Oxidase in the Bio-Inspired Polydopamine-Gold Nanoparticle Composite Film

A highly efficient enzyme immobilization method has been developed for electrochemical biosensors using polydopamine films with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) embedded. This simple enzyme fabrication method can be performed in very mild conditions and stored in a long time with high bioactivity. The fabricated amperometric glucose biosensor exhibited a high and reproducible sensitivity, wide linear dynamic range and low limit of detection (LOD) (0.1 μmol·L^?1). A low value of 1.5 mmol·L^?1 for the apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant K^app_M was obtained. The high sensitivity, wide linear range, good reproducibility and stability make this biosensor a promising candidate for portable amperometric glucose biosensor.
