Flow Injection Amperometric Analysis of H2O2 at Platinum Nanoparticles Modified Pencil Graphite Electrode

A Pt nanoparticle modified Pencil Graphite Electrode (PGE) was proposed for the electrocatalytic oxidation and non‐enzymatic determination of H₂O₂ in Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) system. Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) electrochemically deposited on pretreated PGE (p.PGE) surface by recording cyclic voltammograms of 1.0 mM of H₂PtCl₆ solution in 0.10 M KCl at scan rate of 50 mV s⁻¹ for 30 cycles. Cyclic voltammograms show that the oxidation peak potential of H₂O₂ shifts from about +700 mV at bare PGE to +50 mV at PtNPs/p.PGE vs. Ag/AgCl /KCl (sat.). It can be concluded that PtNPs/p.PGE exhibits a good electrocatalytic activity towards oxidation of H₂O₂. Then, FI amperometric analysis of H₂O₂ was performed under optimized conditions using a new homemade electrochemical flow cell which was constructed for PGE. Linear range was found as 2.5 μM to 750.0 μM H₂O₂ with a detection limit of 0.73 μM (based on S_b/m of 3). As a result, this study shows the first study on the FI amperometric determination of H₂O₂ at PtNPs/p.PGE which exhibits a simple, low cost, commercially available, disposable sensor for H₂O₂ detection. The proposed electrode was successfully applied to determination of H₂O₂ in real sample.     

Amperometric Biosensor Based on Enzymatic Reactor for Choline Determination in Flow Systems

A simple, selective and stable biosensor with the enzymatic reactor based on choline oxidase (ChOx) was developed and applied for the determination of choline (Ch) in flow injection analysis with amperometric detection. The enzyme ChOx was covalently immobilized with glutaraldehyde to mesoporous silica powder (SBA‐15) previously covered by NH₂‐groups. This powder was found as an optimal filling of the reactor. The detection of Ch is based on amperometric monitoring of consumed oxygen during the enzymatic reaction, which is directly proportional to Ch concentration. Two arrangements of an electrolytic cell in FIA, namely wall‐jet cell with working silver solid amalgam electrode covered by mercury film and flow‐through cell with tubular detector of polished silver solid amalgam were compared. The experimental parameters affecting the sensitivity and stability of the biosensor (i. e. pH of the carrier solution, volume of reactor, amount of the immobilized enzyme, the detection potential, flow rate, etc.) were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection was found to be 9.0×10^?6 mol L^?1. The Michaelis‐Menten constant for covalently immobilized ChOx on SBA‐15 was calculated. The proposed amperometric biosensor with the developed ChOx‐based reactor exhibits good repeatability, reproducibility, long‐term stability, and reusability. Its efficiency has been confirmed by the successful application for the determination of Ch in two commercial pharmaceuticals.     

Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Rhodium Dioxide‐Modified Carbon Ink

An amperometric method for the determination of glucose using a screen printed carbon electrode is reported. The electrode material was bulk modified with rhodium dioxide and the enzyme glucose oxidase immobilized in a Nafion‐film on the electrode surface and investigated for its ability to serve as a detector of glucose in flow injection analysis. The sensor exhibited a linear increase of the amperometric signal with the concentration of glucose in the range of 1–250 mg L^?1 with a detection limit (evaluated as 3σ) of 0.2 mg L^?1 under optimized flow rate of 0.4 mL min^?1 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) carrier. At the potential applied (?0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl), interferences from redox species present in the sample matrix were negligible. The biosensor reported here retained its activity for more than 40 injections or 4 months of storage at 6 °C. The RSD was determined as 1.8% for a glucose concentration of 25 mg L^?1 (n=5) with a typical response time of about 28 s.     

An Amperometric Glucose Electrode Based on Adsorbed Glucose Oxidase on Palladium/Gold Modified Graphite

Abstract

A glucose electrode was constructed by adsorbing glucose oxidase (GOD) on a modified electrode for H₂ O ₂ oxidation, consisting of Pd/Au sputtered on graphite. Maximally, 0.8 U cm^?2 of GOD could be adsorbed. The electrode was used in a f.i.a. manifold for determination of glucose. Linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration range 3. 10^?6 4. 10^?3 mol L^?1 glucose. The applied potentials for glucose determination were + 300 mV vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 8.0, + 350 mV at pH 7.0, + 400 mV at pH 6.0 and + 500 mV at pH 5.0. The activity vs. pH profile of adsorbed GOD was broad having an optimum between pH 5 and 6. The apparent kinetic parameters for adsorbed GOD, K_M ^app and i_max, were found to be 50 mM and 160 uA at optimal pH.

Fabrication of Photoelectrochemical Glucose Biosensor in Flow Injection Analysis System Using ZnS/CdS‐Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite Electrode

In this work, a photoamperometric glucose biosensor based on glucose oxidase (GODx) was developed in flow injection analysis (FIA) system using ZnS‐CdS quantum dot (QD) modified multiwalled carbon nanotube/glassy carbon electrode (ZnS‐CdS/MWCNT/GCE). Cyclic voltammograms of the proposed electrode (GODx/ZnS‐CdS/MWCNT/GCE) showed a pair of well‐defined reversible redox peak attributing that direct electron transfer between the protein and electrode. The current of the reduction peak became more cathodic in the presence of O₂ due to the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode towards the reduction of dissolved O₂, but reduction current shifted to a less negative value upon addition of glucose in the solution. The obtained CV currents were affected by the irradiation of the electrode surface. Thus, the photoelectrochemical biosensing of glucose in the FIA system was studied by monitoring of the changes in the electrocatalyzed reduction peak current of dissolved O₂ at the proposed electrode dependent on glucose concentration. The proposed photoelectrochemical FIA method has a linear response to glucose ranging from of 0.01 to 1.0 mM with detection limit of 3.0 μM under optimized conditions. Photoelectrochemical biosensor was successfully fabricated in FIA system for selective, sensitive and repeatable detection of glucose and has been satisfactorily applied to determination of glucose in real sample.     

Development of a Novel Silver Nanoparticles-Enhanced Screen-Printed Amperometric Glucose Biosensor

Abstract

A disposable glucose biosensor is developed by immobilizing glucose oxidase into silver nanoparticles-doped silica sol-gel and polyvinyl alcohol hybrid film on a Prussian blue-modified screen-printed electrode. The silver nanoparticles-enhanced biosensor shows a linear amperometric response to glucose from 1.25 × 10^?5 to 2.56 × 10^?3 with a sensitivity of 20.09 mA M^?1 cm^?2, which is almost double that of the biosensors without silver nanoparticles. The immobilized glucose oxidase retained 91% of its original activity after 30 days of storage in phosphate buffer (pH 6.9; 0.1 M) at 4°C. Blood glucose in a rabbit serum sample was successfully measured with the biosensor.     

Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Electrochemically Deposited Gold Nanoparticles Covered by Polypyrrole

Graphite rod (GR) modified with electrochemicaly deposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and adsorbed glucose oxidase (GOx) was used in amperometric glucose biosensor design. Enzymatic formation of polypyrrole (Ppy) on the surface of GOx/AuNPs/GR electrode was applied in order to improve analytical characteristics and stability of developed biosensor. The linear glucose detection range for Ppy/GOx/AuNPs/GR electrode was dependent on the duration of Ppy‐layer formation and the linear interval was extended up to 19.9 mmol L⁻¹ after 21 h lasting synthesis of Ppy. The sensitivity of the developed biosensor was determined as 21.7 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻², the limit of detection – 0.20 mmol L⁻¹. Ppy/GOx/AuNPs/GR electrodes demonstrated advanced good stability (the t _1/2 was 9.8 days), quick detection of glucose (within 5 s) in the wide linear interval. Additionally, formed Ppy layer decreased the influence of electroactive species on the analytical signal. Developed biosensor is suitable for the determination of glucose in human serum samples.

An Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Poly (Pyrrole‐2‐Carboxylic Acid)/Glucose Oxidase Biocomposite

A newly developed amperometric glucose biosensor based on graphite rod (GR) working electrode modified with biocomposite consisting of poly (pyrrole‐2‐carboxylic acid) (PCPy) particles and enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) was investigated. The PCPy particles were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization technique using H₂O₂ as initiator of polymerization reaction and modified covalently with the GOx (PCPy‐GOx) after activation of carboxyl groups located on the particles surface with a mixture of N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N′‐ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N‐hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Then the PCPy‐GOx biocomposite was dispersed in a buffer solution containing a certain amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The resulting biocomposite suspension was adsorbed the on GR electrode surface with subsequent solvent airing and chemical cross‐linking of the proteins with glutaraldehyde vapour (GR/PCPy‐GOx). It was determined that the current response of the GR/PCPy‐GOx electrodes to glucose measured at +300 mV vs Cl reference electrode was influenced by the duration of the PCPy particles synthesis, pH of the GOx solution used for the PCPy particles modification and the amount of immobilized PCPy‐GOx biocomposite. An optimal pH of buffer solution for operation of the biosensor was found to be 8.0. Detection limit was determined as 0.039 mmol L⁻¹ according signal to noise ratio (S/N: 3). The proposed glucose biosensor was tested in human serum samples.     

Glucose Biosensor Using Glucose Oxidase and Electrospun Mn2O3‐Ag Nanofibers

The highly porous Mn₂O₃‐Ag nanofibers were fabricated by a facile two‐step procedure (electrospinning and calcination). The structure and composition of the Mn₂O₃‐Ag nanofibers were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDX and SAED. The as‐prepared Mn₂O₃‐Ag nanofibers were then employed as the immobilization matrix for glucose oxidase (GOD) to construct an amperometric glucose biosensor. The biosensor shows fast response to glucose, high sensitivity (40.60 µA mM^?1 cm^?2), low detection limit (1.73 µM at S/N=3), low K_m,app value and excellent selectivity. These results indicate that the novel Mn₂O₃‐Ag nanfibers‐GOD composite has great potential application in oxygen‐reduction based glucose biosensing.     

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.

Unadulterated Glucose Biosensor Based on Direct Electron Transfer of Glucose Oxidase Encapsulated Chitosan Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

Glucose oxidase (GOD) was encapsulated in chitosan matrix and immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode, achieving direct electron transfer (DET) reaction between GOD and electrode without any nano‐material. On basis of such DET, a novel glucose biosensor was fabricated for direct bioelectrochemical sensing without any electron‐mediator. GOD incorporated in chitosan films gave a pair of stable, well‐defined, and quasireversible cyclic voltammetric peaks at about ?0.284 (E_pa) and ?0.338 V (E_pc) vs. Ag/AgCl electrode in phosphate buffers. And the peak is located at the potentials characteristic of FAD redox couples of the proteins. The electrochemical parameters, such as midpoint potential (E_1/2) and apparent heterogeneous electron‐transfer rate constants (k_s) were estimated to ?0.311 V and 1.79 s^?1 by voltammetry, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the encapsulated GOD retains its catalytic activity for the oxidation of glucose. Such a GOD encapsulated chitosan based biosensor revealed a relatively rapid response time of less than 2 min, and a sufficient linear detection range for glucose concentration, from 0.60 to 2.80 mmol L^?1 with a detection limit of 0.10 mmol L^?1 and electrode sensitivity of 0.233 μA mmol^?1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is under 3.2% (n=7) for the determination of practical serum samples. The biologic compounds probably existed in the sample, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, and epinephrine, do not affect the determination of glucose. The proposed method is satisfactory to the determination of human serum samples compared with the routine hexokinase method. Both the unique electrical property and biocompatibility of chitosan enable the construction of a good bio‐sensing platform for achieved DET of GOD and developed the third‐generation glucose biosensors.

Glucose Biosensor Based on Oxygen Electrode. Part II: Long-Term Operational Stability of the Rechargeable Glucose Biosensor

Abstract

A potentially implantable glucose biosensor for measuring blood or tissue glucose levels in diabetic patients has been developed. The glucose biosensor is based on an amperometric oxygen electrode and immobilized glucose oxidase enzyme, in which the immobilized enzyme can be replaced (the sensor recharged) without surgical removal of the sensor from the patient. Recharging of the sensor is achieved by injecting fresh immobilized enzyme into the sensor using a septum. A special technique for immobilization of the enzyme on Ultra-Low Temperature Isotropic (ULTI) carbon powder held in a liquid suspension has been developed.

In vitro studies of the sensors show stable performance during several recharge cycles over a period of 3 months of continuous operation.

Diffusion membranes which ensure linear dependence of the sensor response on glucose concentration have been developed. These membranes comprise silastic latex-rubber coatings over a microporous polycarbonate membrane. Calibration curves of the amperometric signal show linearity over a wide range of glucose concentrations (up to 16 mM), covering hypoglycemic, normoglycemic and hyperglycemic conditions.

The experimental results confirm the suitability of the sensors for in vitro measurements in undiluted human sera.
