Simple and disposable point of care systems are usually the best solution for chronic patients to get a rapid diagnosis in home care context. However, their main drawback relies on the poor reliability derived from the low stability of the bio-recognition elements and low quality of the transducers. In the current work, we study the use of electrodeposited calcium alginate hydrogels as a biocompatible matrix in the development of enzymatic amperometric biosensors for whole blood analysis, to enhance the enzymes stability and to protect the transducer from biofouling. The alginate electrodeposition involves the controlled Ca release, so the gel thickness can be modulated. In the biosensor, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOD) were electrodeposited within the hydrogel and the activity of the bi-enzymatic system was analyzed chronoamperometrically using 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as the mediator. Besides enzyme entrapment, the obtained gels protected the transducer from biofouling, enabling the reuse of the transducer after hydrogel removal and re-electrodeposition. The biosensors showed good analytical characteristics to glucose determination in whole blood samples, discriminating among healthy and hyperglycemic samples, with good sensitivity (- 0.27µAcmmM), low limit of detection (126µM) and long lineal range (2-12mM).
简单且一次性的即时检测系统通常是慢性患者在家中获得快速诊断的最佳选择。然而,它们的主要缺点在于生物识别元件稳定性差和换能器质量低导致的可靠性差。在本工作中,我们研究了使用电沉积钙藻酸盐水凝胶作为生物相容性基质在开发用于全血分析的酶电化学生物传感器中的应用,以增强酶的稳定性并保护换能器免受生物污垢的影响。藻酸盐的电沉积涉及到 Ca 的受控释放,因此可以调节凝胶的厚度。在生物传感器中,辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)和葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)被电沉积在水凝胶内,并通过使用 3,3',5,5'-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)作为介体进行计时安培法分析双酶系统的活性。除了酶包埋外,所得凝胶还可以保护换能器免受生物污垢的影响,在去除水凝胶并重新电沉积后可以重复使用换能器。该生物传感器对全血样本中的葡萄糖测定具有良好的分析特性,能够区分健康和高血糖样本,具有良好的灵敏度(-0.27µAcmmM)、低检测限(126µM)和长线性范围(2-12mM)。
