An amperometric biosensor was prepared by in situ deposition of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme on a polyaniline (PANI)-doped platinum disk electrode. The PANI film was electrochemically deposited on the electrode at 100 mV s−1/Ag-AgCl. Cyclic voltammetric characterization of the PANI film in 1 M HCl showed two distinct redox peaks, which prove that the PANI film was electroactive and exhibited fast reversible electrochemistry. The surface concentration and film thickness of the adsorbed electroactive species was estimated to be 1.85×10−7 mol cm−2 and approximately 16 nm, respectively. HRP was electrostatically immobilized onto the surface of the PANI film, and voltammetry was used to monitor the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide under diffusion-controlled conditions. Linear responses over the concentration range 2.5×10−4 to 5×10−3 M were observed. Spectroelectrochemistry was used to monitor the changes in UV-vis properties of HRP, before and after the catalysis of H2O2. The biosensor surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using PANI-doped screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) in the presence and absence of (i) peroxidase and (ii) peroxide. The SEM images showed clear modifications of the conducting film surface structure when doped with HRP, as well as the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the morphology of biosensor. 相似文献
Amperometric enzyme biosensors for the determination of acetylcholine (ACh) and choline (Ch) have been described. For the fabrication of the biosensors, N-acetylaniline (nAN) was first electropolymerized on a Pt electrode surface to be served as a permselective layer to reject interferences. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and choline oxidase (CHOD) were co-immobilized in a zinc oxide (ZnO) sol–gel membrane on the above modified Pt electrode for a Ch sensor, or CHOD, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and BSA immobilized together for an ACh/Ch sensor. The poly (N-acetylaniline) (pnAN) film was the first time used for an ACh/Ch sensor and found to have excellent anti-interference ability, and the BSA in the sol–gel can improve the stability and activity of the enzymes. Amperometric detection of ACh and Ch were realized at an applied potential of +0.6 V versus SCE. The resulting sensors were characterized by fast response, expanded linear range and low interference from endogenous electroactive species. Temperature and pH dependence and stability of the sensor were investigated. The optimal ACh/Ch sensor gave a linear response range of 1.0 × 10−6 to 1.5 × 10−3 M to ACh with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 6.0 × 10−7 M and a linear response range up to 1.6 × 10−3 M to Ch with a detection limit of 5.0 × 10−7 M. The biosensor demonstrated a 95% response within less than 10 s. 相似文献
The construction and performance under flow-injection conditions of an integrated amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide is reported. The design of the bioelectrode is based on a mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified gold disk electrode on which horseradish peroxidase (HRP, 24.3 U) was immobilized by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde together with the mediator tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, 1 μmol), which was entrapped in the three-dimensional aggregate formed.
The amperometric biosensor allows the obtention of reproducible flow injection amperometric responses at an applied potential of 0.00 V in 0.05 mol L−1 phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 (flow rate: 1.40 mL min−1, injection volume: 150 μL), with a range of linearity for hydrogen peroxide within the 2.0 × 10−7–1.0 × 10−4 mol L−1 concentration range (slope: (2.33 ± 0.02) × 10−2 A mol−1 L, r = 0.999). A detection limit of 6.9 × 10−8 mol L−1 was obtained together with a R.S.D. (n = 50) of 2.7% for a hydrogen peroxide concentration level of 5.0 × 10−5 mol L−1. The immobilization method showed a good reproducibility with a R.S.D. of 5.3% for five different electrodes. Moreover, the useful lifetime of one single biosensor was estimated in 13 days.
The SAM-based biosensor was applied for the determination of hydrogen peroxide in rainwater and in a hair dye. The results obtained were validated by comparison with those obtained with a spectrophotometric reference method. In addition, the recovery of hydrogen peroxide in sterilised milk was tested. 相似文献
A highly sensitive amperometric glucose biosensor based on immobilizing glucose oxidase in electropolymerized poly(o‐phenylenediamine) film on glassy carbon electrode coated sequentially with copper and palladium layers has been developed. The steady‐state amperometric response to glucose was determined by means of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzymatic reaction at a potential of either +0.70 or +0.40 V (vs. Ag|AgCl reference). The deposited copper/palladium layer showed great enhancement in the performance of the enzyme electrode, possibly due to its better electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen peroxide oxidation and large surface area. Effects of the relative loading of palladium, enzyme and polymer on the electrode performance were examined in detail. Sensitivity and detection limit for glucose determinations at +0.70 V were about 7.3 μA/mM and 0.1 μM, respectively. A wide linear range up to 6.0 mM glucose could be achieved. Electrode performance was superior to similar works reported in the literature. The response time was less than 2 s and its lifetime was longer than three months. The permeable polyphenylenediamine film also offered good anti‐interference ability to ascorbic acid, uric acid and acetaminophen, especially when a detection potential of +0.40 V was employed. 相似文献
A non-invasive, passive and simple to use skin surface based sensing device for determining the blood's ethanol content (BAC) by monitoring transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) is designed and developed. The proposed prototype is based on bienzyme amperometric composite biosensors that are sensitive to the variation of ethanol concentration. The prototype correlates, through previous calibration set-up, the amperometric signal generated from ethanol in sweat with its content in blood in a short period of time. The characteristics of this sensor device permit determination of the ethanol concentration in isolated and in continuous form, giving information of the BAC of a subject either in a given moment or its evolution during long periods of time (8 h). Moreover, as the measurements are performed in a biological fluid, the evaluated individual is not able to alter the result of the analysis. The maximum limit of ethanol in blood allowed by legislation is included within the linear range of the device (0.0005–0.6 g L−1). Moreover, the device shows higher sensitivity than the breathalyzers marketed at the moment, allowing the monitoring of the ethanol content in blood to be obtained just 5 min after ingestion of the alcoholic drink. The comparison of the obtained results using the proposed device in the analysis of 40 volunteers with those provided by the gas chromatographic reference method for determination of BAC pointed out that there were no significant differences between both methods. 相似文献
A copper metal–organic framework nanoparticles (Cu‐MOF‐NPs) synthesized via simple technique. The prepared Cu‐MOF‐NPs nanoparticles were further characterized using 1H‐NMR, FE‐SEM/EDX and thermal study (DSC/TGA). The FE‐SEM/EDX, thermal analysis, and NMR spectrum data with the other analysis support the nano‐Cu‐MOF structure and the monomeric unit (n[Cu (AIP)2(APY)(H2O)2].4H2O) of Cu‐MOF‐NPs. The photoluminescence (PL) studies of triiodothyronine hormone (T3) based on the prepared Cu‐MOF‐NPs investigated. The results revealed that the Cu‐MOF‐NPs might be used as a biosensor in the determination of triiodothyronine hormone (T3) in biological fluids through a significant quenching of the photoluminescence intensity of Cu‐MOF‐NPs at excitation wavelength 492 nm. The calibration plot achieved over the concentration range 0.0–200.0 ng/dL T3 hormone with a correlation coefficient 0.996 and limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) 0.198 and 0.60 ng/dL, respectively. The PL spectra are indicating that Cu‐MOF‐NPs has highly selective sensing properties for T3 hormone without interfering with other human many hormones types. This approach considered a promising analytical tool for early diagnosis of the cases of thyroid disease. The mechanism of quenching between the Cu‐MOF‐NPs, and T3 hormone studied. The mechanism was a dynamic type and obtained due to the energy transfer mechanism. 相似文献
Here we present a novel design of electrochemical signal enhancer to increase the detection sensitivity of electrochemical DNA biosensors. The key element of this enhancer is a lysine‐rich peptide (LRP). Its C‐terminal is conjugated with a planer molecule, being able to intercalate into the base pairs of probe‐target duplexes. The lysine residues of LRP are covalently linked with electrochemical signal indicators, acting as an assembly of electrochemical signal indicators. Experimental results proved the feasibility of the novel design. We have examined the effects of the numbers of lysine residues and the hybridization conditions on the detection sensitivity. The optimization procedures have led to significant sensitivity enhancement, and the LOD (limit of detection) has been determined to be 1.4 amol. This enhancer demonstrates advantages of easy operation, simple instrumentation, and high exemption from environmental influence. 相似文献
The contribution of electrospun nanofibrous membranes (e.NFMs) in the biosensing platforms opens up a new prospect for the invention of faster and more sensitive analytical devices. In this paper, we utilized e.NFM of polyethersulfone (PES) as a solid substrate for the protein immobilization through two different approaches: physical and covalent. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier‐transform‐infrared (FTIR) tests were performed to study the effect of plasma treatment on protein immobilization efficacy. Moreover, taking advantage of ELISA technique, the influence of different parameters, namely, nanofibers diameter, membrane thickness, plasma treatment time, an incubation time of ethyl‐3‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐carbodiimide/N‐hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS), and their ratio on antibody immobilization efficacy through two mentioned approaches, was also assessed. 相似文献
