A new amperometric biosensor offers rapid analysis of human salivary phosphate. This pyruvate oxidase-based device provides accurate results in just 4 minutes, aiding oral and dental diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Accurate salivary phosphate measurement is crucial for oral and dental health.
  • Existing methods for phosphate determination can be time-consuming and require sample pretreatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel amperometric biosensor for the rapid, direct analysis of human salivary phosphate.
  • To assess the performance characteristics of the biosensor, including response time, recovery, linearity, detection limit, and stability.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of an amperometric biosensor by immobilizing pyruvate oxidase (PyOD) on a screen-printed electrode.
  • Enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of phosphate, monitored electrochemically.
  • Validation of the biosensor using human salivary samples and comparison with a commercial phosphate testing kit.

Main Results:

  • The biosensor demonstrated a rapid response time (within 2s) and short recovery time (2 min), with a total measurement time of 4 min.
  • A linear detection range of 7.5 to 625 microM phosphate was achieved, with a detection limit of 3.6 microM.
  • High working stability (>85% after 12h) and excellent agreement (R2=0.9646) with a commercial kit were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed amperometric biosensor is a simple, accurate, and rapid tool for human salivary phosphate determination.
  • This biosensor technology holds significant potential for applications in oral and dental research and clinical diagnosis.
  • The sensor eliminates the need for sample pretreatment, streamlining the diagnostic process.
