Amperometry: Overview

Amperometry: Overview

Amperometry is a technique commonly used to measure the concentration of specific analytes in a solution by monitoring the electric current generated during an electrochemical reaction. It involves applying a constant potential between a working electrode and a reference electrode to measure the resulting current, which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte. The Clark oxygen electrode operates based on this principle of amperometry. It consists of a cathode and an anode enclosed...

Background:

Creatinine determination is crucial for diagnosing kidney function.
Existing methods may have limitations in sensitivity or sample interference.
Development of efficient mediators is key for biosensor performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To fabricate a novel amperometric biosensor for creatinine detection.
To evaluate the efficacy of pentacyanoferrate-bound poly(1-vinylimidazole) (PVI[Fe(CN)5]) as a mediator.
To optimize the biosensor for practical urine creatinine analysis.

Main Methods:

Immobilization of enzymes (CNH, CRH, SOD, POD) and PVI[Fe(CN)5] mediator on a glassy carbon electrode using PEGDGE.
Amperometric detection of H2O2 at -0.1V.
Optimization of mediator, crosslinker, and enzyme concentrations.
Application of a Nafion protective film.

Main Results:

PVI[Fe(CN)5] demonstrated suitability as a mediator for peroxidase bioelectrocatalytic reactions.
Optimized biosensor achieved a detection limit of 12μM and a linear range of 12-500μM (R²=0.993).
High sensitivity of 11mAcm⁻²M⁻¹ was obtained, suitable for urine creatinine tests.
Results showed good correlation with the Jaffe method for real urine samples.

Conclusions:

The developed PVI[Fe(CN)5]-based biosensor offers a sensitive and reliable method for amperometric creatinine determination.
The mediator's properties are well-suited for the bioelectrocatalytic process, avoiding interference.
The biosensor shows potential for practical application in clinical urine analysis.
