Abstract Research has been carried out on the manufacture of tungsten indicator electrodes with a diameter 1 mm coated PVA-Enzyme PVC-KTpClPB using biosensor potentiometer method. It sensitivity 19,096 mV/decade, detection range 1.10 -5 - 5.10 -4 M, limit M and correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.9431. This is very small, only difference one order to negative power. On basis this small range, PVA-E...

Enzyme immobilization on solid conducting surfaces faces challenges for practical applications in technologies such as biosensors and biofuel cells. Short-term stability, poor electrochemical performance, enzyme inhibition are some unsolved issues. Here, we show a simple methodology bilirubin oxidase (BOD) carbon-based gas diffusion electrode four-electron oxygen reduction reaction. BOD is inco...

We performed numerical simulations on an extremely fast, mediated, electron transfer-type bioelectrocatalytic reaction using a microband electrode. The simulations under fast-enzyme-kinetics conditions predicted that the decrement of the current density by increaseing the microband thickness would effectively improve the upper limit of detection. These predictions were accurate for an ultrathin...

A new amperometric uric acid biosensor was developed by immobilizing uricase by a glutaraldehyde crosslinking procedure on polyaniline-polypyrrole (pani-ppy) composite film on the surface of a platinum electrode. Determination of uric acid was performed by the oxidation of enzymatically generated H₂O₂ at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working range of the biosensor was 2.5×10-6 - 8.5×10-5 M and ...

An interference-free amperometric biosensor for the quantitative xanthine analysis is described. Xanthine was monitored through the electrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide (produced upon its enzyme-catalyzed oxidation) at a constant applied potential of -50 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). The biosensor was designed on the basis of a graphite electrode modified with microquantities of platinum and pall...

Screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with carbon black nanoparticles (CB) has been tested as a new platform for the stable deposition of caffeic acid (CFA) on the electrode surface. The electrochemical performance from varying the amount of CFA/CB composite has been tested with respect to NADH determination. The electrocatalytic activity of CFA/CB has also been compared with that of SPEs mod...

A very small electrode (nanobiosensor) was constructed by immobilizing enzyme (glucose oxidase or hexokinase) on the surface of the cantilever of the atomic force microscope in order to detect the absorption of glucose molecules by living cells. If glucose is present, the nanobiosensor deflects, probably due to the reaction heat evolved in the process. Nanobiosensors built with inactivated enzy...

Reduction of dioxygen catalyzed by laccase was studied at platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) modified electrodes. PtNPs with laccase are directly fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and indium tin oxide electrode (ITO) by simple process. The PtNPs/laccase modified ITO electrode surface has been studied in detail using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This PtNPs/laccase modified GCE effectivel...

A straightforward electrochemical deposition process was developed to grow gold nanostructures, including nanocoral, nanothorn, branched belt, and nanoparticle, on carbon electrodes by reducing HAuCl4 under constant potentials in mixtures containing CTAC and/or NaNO3. Among the nanostructures, the quasi-one-dimensional nanocoral electrode showed the highest surface area. Because of this, it pro...
