Development of an amperometric glucose biosensor based on the immobilization of glucose oxidase in an ormosil-PVA matrix onto a Prussian Blue modified electrode

An amperometric glucose biosensor was developed based on the immobilization of glucose oxidase in the organically modified silicate (ormosil)-polyvinyl acetate (PVA) matrix onto a Prussian Blue (PB)-modified glassy carbon electrode. A higher stability PB-modified electrode was prepared by the electrochemical deposition of FeCl₃, K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) under cyclic voltammetric (CV) conditions. The effects of the potential range of CV conditions, electrolyte cations, applied potential, pH, temperature and co-existing substances were investigated. The detection limit of the glucose biosensor was 8.1 μmol·L⁻¹ (S/N = 3) with a linear range from 20 μmol·L⁻¹ to 2 mmol·L⁻¹ (R = 0.9965). The biosensor presented a fast response and good selectivity. Additionally, excellent reproducibility and stability of the biosensor were observed.

Label-free amperometric immunosensor based on prussian blue as artificial peroxidase for the detection of methamphetamine

A label-free amperometric immunosensor for the detection of methamphetamine was developed. The prussian blue deposited/l-cystine-modified electrode was covered with nano-Au/(3-mercaptorpropyl) trime-thoxysilane film. Then, the nano-Au was used for the immunosensor platform to capture a large amount of anti-methamphetamine. PB exhibited excellent electrocatalytical properties toward the reduction of H₂O₂ at low overpotentia to amplify the amperometric signal, which enhanced the sensitivity of the immunosensor. The active sites of PB could be shielded and the access of H₂O₂ from solution to the electrode might be partially blocked after the completion of immunoassay, led to a linear decrease in the response current of the electrode over the range from 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹of MA. The obtained immunosensor displayed excellent catalytic reduction toward H₂O₂ due to high activity and selectivity of PB. The influence of relevant experimental variables, including the construction of immunosensor platform, the amount of MPS and the time of immunoaction, was examined and optimized.     

Microwave synthesis of prussian Blue-CuIn@C60 nanosheet for O2 production

A novel amperometric biosensor based on NiO hollow nanospheres for biosensing glucose

NiO hollow nanospheres were synthesized by controlled precipitation of metal ions with urea using carbon microspheres as templates, which were for the first time adopted to construct a novel amperometric glucose biosensor. Glucose oxidase was immobilized on the surface of hollow nanospheres through chitosan-assisted cross-linking technique. Due to the high specific active sites and high electrocatalytic activity of NiO hollow nanospheres, the constructed glucose biosensors exhibited a high sensitivity of 3.43 μA/mM. The low detection limit was estimated to be 47 μM (S/N = 3), and the Michaelis-Menten constant was found to be 7.76 mM, indicating the high affinity of enzyme on NiO hollow nanospheres to glucose. These results show that the NiO hollow nanospheres are a promising material to construct enzyme biosensors.

A flow system incorporating the amperometric biosensor constructed was developed for the determination of glucose in the 1×10⁻⁴–5×10⁻³ mol l⁻¹ range with a precision of 1.5%. The results obtained for the analysis of electrolytic solution for iv administration and human serum samples showed good agreement between the proposed method and the reference procedure, with relative error <5%.

Kinetic parameters, such as K _m and I _max, operational and storage stabilities, effects of pH and temperature were determined for both entrapment supports. K _m values are found as 7.9 and 1.3 mM for PPy and PEDOT enzyme electrodes, respectively; it can be interpreted that ChOx immobilized in PEDOT shows higher affinity towards the substrate.

A novel amperometric biosensor utilizing two enzymes, glucose oxidase (GOD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), was developed for the cathodic detection of glucose. The glucose biosensor was constructed by electrochemical formation of a polypyrrole (PPy) membrane in the presence of GOD on the surface of a HRP-modified sol-gel derived-mediated ceramic carbon electrode. Ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FCA) was used as mediator to transfer electron between enzyme and electrode. In the hetero-bilayer configuration of electrode, all enzymes were well immobilized in electrode matrices and showed favorable enzymatic activities. The amperometric detection of glucose was carried out at +0.16 V (versus saturated calomel reference electrode (SCE)) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.9) with a linear response range between 8.0×10⁻⁵ and 1.3×10⁻³ M glucose. The biosensor showed a good suppression of interference in the amperometric detection.

Prussian Blue Modified Submicron Structured Gold Electrodes for Amperometric Hydrogen Peroxide Sensing

In this work, we present a simple and effective approach for fabricating sub‐micron structured gold (SM−Au) electrodes by chemically etching the magnetron co‐sputtered gold film in KI solution for certain time. Such electrodes with a large surface area to volume ratio were used as the matrix for electrochemical deposition of Prussian blue (PB) to develop an electrochemical hydrogen peroxide sensor. Experimental characterization using scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope shows that the thickness of PB layer on SM−Au electrode is around 140 nm, and is composited with cubic PB nanocrystals. The electrochemical performance of the designed sensor, studied using cyclic voltammograms and chronoamperometry methods, suggests that the sensor based on SM−Au/PB electrode presents the direct electron transfer of PB particle towards SM−Au film, and exhibits fast response, wide linearity, low detection limit and high stability. Under the optimized conditions, the sensitivity of the developed sensor for the detection of H₂O₂ reaches the value of 512 mA cm⁻² M⁻¹ with a linear range from 1 μM to 4.5 mM.     

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.

Prussian blue solid-state films and membranes as potassium ion-selective electrodes

The use of thin films of Prussian blue and heterogeneous Prussian blue membranes as potassium ion-selective electrodes was investigated. All of the heavier group I cations and NH⁺₄ interfere strongly but there is relatively good selectivity towards Na⁺ with a selectivity coefficient of ca. 5 × 10^?3. The thin-film measurements, based on Prussian blue deposited on platinum, involve conditioning the electrode to a fixed potential according to the method used by Engel and Grabner for copper hexacyanoferrate(III) films. The membrane electrodes were based on mixing Prussian blue with polymeric supporting films such as polystyrene and epoxy. A particularly simple practical configuration involves Prussian blue membranes deposited directly on copper conductors where one membrane serves as a reference electrode. A reversible cell, without liquid junction, is formed with Prussian blue and Ag/AgCl electrodes and this serves as a means for determining an accurate value for the standard reduction potential of Prussian blue, which is found to be 0.238 V vs. Ag/AgCl at 25 °C.     

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.     

Sol-gel-derived amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide based on methylene green incorporated in Nafion film

A hydrogen peroxide biosensor was fabricated by coating a sol-gel-peroxidase layer onto a Nafion-methylene green modified electrode. Immobilization of methylene green (MG) was attributed to the electrostatic force between MG(+) and the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups in Nafion polymer, whereas immobilization of horseradish peroxidase was attributed to the encapsulation function of the silica sol-gel network. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were employed to demonstrate the feasibility of electron transfer between sol-gel-immobilized peroxidase and a glassy carbon electrode. Performance of the sensor was evaluated with respect to response time, sensitivity as well as operational stability. The enzyme electrode has a sensitivity of 13.5 muA mM(-1) with a detection limit of 1.0x10(-7) M H(2)O(2), and the sensor achieved 95% of the steady-state current within 20 s.     

Prussian blue-glutamate oxidase modified glassy carbon electrode: A sensitive l-glutamate and β-N-oxalyl-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP) sensor

A sensitive biosensor has been developed for the neurotoxin β-N-oxalyl-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP) contained in the seeds of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) and for l-glutamate based on glutamate oxidase (GlOx) and a Prussian blue (PB) modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The configuration of the system is so as to detect the hydrogen peroxide released during the enzymatic cycle at a low applied potential, −50 mV versus Ag|AgCl, in the flow injection mode. For this purpose GlOx was coupled to PB electrodeposited onto a glassy carbon electrode and stabilised by treatment with tetrabutylammonium toluene-4-sulfonate (TTS) during one of the steps in the electrodeposition. GlOx was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (GA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Tween-20 on the surface of the PB modified GC electrodes. Addition of 0.01% and 0.001% polyethyleneimine (PEI) to the immobilisation mixture resulted in an enhancement of the response signal with about 35% and 62% for glutamate and β-ODAP, respectively, when using 0.01% PEI and with 164% and 200% for glutamate and β-ODAP, respectively, when using 0.001% PEI. The linear response range for β-ODAP was extended from 0.05-0.5 mM to 0.01-1 mM, when 0.001% PEI was used. However, a higher concentration of PEI, 0.1%, caused a decrease in the sensitivity of the biosensor.
