A novel amperometric biosensor for the determination of Al(III) based on the inhibition of the enzyme superoxide dismutase has been developed. The oxidation signal of epinephrine substrate was affected by the presence of Al(III) ions leading to a decrease in its amperometric current. The immobilization of the enzyme was performed with glutaraldehyde on screen-printed carbon electrodes modifiedw...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to be generated in Photosystem II (PSII) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. Detection of H2O2 by different spectroscopic techniques has been explored, however its sensitive detection has always been a challenge in photosynthetic research. During the recent past, fluorescence probes such as Amplex Red (AR) has been used but is known to either lack specifi...

A novel bienzyme-channeling sensor was constructed by entrapping glucose oxidase (GOD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the mesopores of well-ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica structures (SBA-15). The SBA-15 mesoporous materials accelerated the electron transfer between the entrapped HRP and electrode. Both HRP and GOD retained their catalytic activities in the bienzyme-entrapped SBA-15 fi...

The fabrication of microelectrodes integrated within ultra-low-volume microtiter chambers for the amperometric determination of metabolites continues to be of interest in the subject of single-cell and high-throughput screening. The microsystem described in this paper consists of a two-microelectrode sensor with a microfluidic dispensation technology, which is able to deliver both very low tite...

Since the appearance of the first amperometric biosensors based on the coupling of oxidase enzymes and relying on the final detection of H2O2, it was clear that one of the major problems related to this kind of configuration was due to the high overpotential needed for H2O2 oxidation (ca. 0.7V vs. Ag/AgCl). At this potential in fact, many electroactive substances (i.e. ascorbic acid, uric acid ...

Here, we introduce the preparation of the hybrid nanocomposite-modified electrode consisting of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the one-step electrochemical method, allowing for the simultaneous and individual detection of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA). RGO/AuNPs nanocomposite was formed on a glassy carbon electrode by the co-reduction o...

An enzyme electrode for the detection of V-type nerve agents, VX (O-ethyl-S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothioate) and R-VX (O-isobutyl-S-2-diethylaminoethyl methylphosphonothioate), is proposed. The principle of the new biosensor is based on the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the nerve agents and amperometric detection of the thiol-containing hydrolysis products at carbon nanotube-mod...

A cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) thin layer served as the base for a non-enzymatic glucose sensor in an alkaline medium, 0.1 NaOH solution, with a linear range of 50-200 mg/dL using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study confirmed the formation of the cuprous oxide layer on the thin gold film sensor prototype. Quantitative detection of glucose in...

In this study, a hydrothermal technique was applied to synthesize glucose-treated reduced graphene oxide-activated carbon (GRGO/AC) composites. Platinum nanoparticles (PtNP) were electrochemically deposited on the modified GRGO/AC surface, and chitosan-glucose oxidase (Chit-GOx) composites and nafion were integrated onto the modified surface of the working electrode to prepare a highly sensitiv...
