The performance of a new glucose biosensor based on the combination of biocatalytic activity of glucose oxidase (GOx) with the electrocatalytic properties of CNTs and neutral red (NR) for the determination of glucose is described. This sensor is comprised of a multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) conduit functionalized with NR and Nafion (Nf) as a binder and glucose oxidase as a biocatalyst. Neutral red was covalently immobilized on carboxylic acid groups of the CNTs via carbodiimide reaction. The functionalized MWNTs were characterized by microscopic, spectroscopic and thermal methods. The MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf nanobiocomposite was prepared by mixing the GOx solution with NR functionalized CNTs followed by mixing homogeneously with Nafion. The performance of the MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf nanobiocomposite modified electrode was examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide liberated from the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase upon glucose with NR functionalized CNTs leads to the selective detection of glucose. The excellent electrocatalytic activity and the influence of nanobiocomposite film result in good characteristics such as low potential detection of glucose with a large determination range from 1 x 10(-8) to 1 x 10(-3)M with a detection limit of 3 x 10(-9)M glucose, a short response time (with 4s), good stability and anti-interferent ability. The improved electrocatalytic activity and stability made the MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf nanobiocomposite biosensor system a potential platform to immobilize different enzymes for other bioelectrochemical applications.
描述了一种基于葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)的生物催化活性与碳纳米管(CNTs)和中性红(NR)的电催化特性相结合的新型葡萄糖生物传感器用于测定葡萄糖的性能。该传感器由用NR和作为粘合剂的Nafion(Nf)功能化的多壁碳纳米管(MWNTs)导管以及作为生物催化剂的葡萄糖氧化酶组成。中性红通过碳二亚胺反应共价固定在CNTs的羧酸基团上。通过显微镜、光谱和热方法对功能化的MWNTs进行了表征。MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf纳米生物复合材料是通过将GOx溶液与NR功能化的CNTs混合,然后与Nafion均匀混合制备而成。通过电化学阻抗谱和循环伏安法研究了MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf纳米生物复合材料修饰电极的性能。葡萄糖与NR功能化的CNTs发生酶促反应释放出的过氧化氢的催化还原导致了葡萄糖的选择性检测。优异的电催化活性和纳米生物复合膜的影响导致了良好的特性,如葡萄糖的低电位检测,测定范围从1×10⁻⁸到1×10⁻³M,葡萄糖检测限为3×10⁻⁹M,响应时间短(4秒),稳定性好和抗干扰能力强。改进的电催化活性和稳定性使MWNT-NR-GOx-Nf纳米生物复合材料生物传感器系统成为用于其他生物电化学应用固定不同酶的潜在平台。
