Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biosensor technology
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Amperometric biosensors are crucial for detecting biological analytes.
  • Enzyme immobilization is key to biosensor stability and performance.
  • Polypyrrole offers a versatile matrix for electrochemical enzyme entrapment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and optimize an amperometric glucose biosensor.
  • To investigate the effect of fabrication parameters on biosensor performance.
  • To evaluate the stability and kinetic properties of the developed biosensor.

Main Methods:

  • Electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole onto a platinum electrode in the presence of glucose oxidase.
  • Optimization of pyrrole and glucose oxidase concentrations, film thickness, pH, and temperature.
  • Amperometric measurement of glucose response at a fixed potential.

Main Results:

  • Optimal fabrication parameters identified: 0.3 M pyrrole, 65 U/ml glucose oxidase, 0.01 M KCl, 0.17 micron film thickness, pH 6, 313 K.
  • Linear response range from 1.0 mM to 7.5 mM glucose.
  • High stability: >500 days shelf life, >175 assays operational stability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed polypyrrole-based glucose biosensor demonstrates excellent performance and stability.
  • Internal diffusion of hydrogen peroxide is a key factor influencing biosensor response.
  • Immobilization did not alter the substrate specificity of glucose oxidase.
