Electrochemical sensors and biosensors

VEGETABLE PEROXIDASE ON CHITOSAN MATRIX.Biosensors were developed by immobilization of gilo (Solanum gilo) enzymatic extract on chitosan biopolymers using three different procedures: glutaraldehyde, carbodiimide/ glutaraldehyde and epichlorohydrin/glutaraldehyde.The best biosensor performance was obtained after the immobilization of peroxidase on chitosan with epichlorohydrin/glutaraldehyde.Linear analytical curves for hydroquinone concentrations from 2.5x10 -4 to 4.5x10 -3 mol L -1 with a detection limit of 2.0x10 -6 mol L -1 and recovery of hydroquinone ranging from 95.1 to 105% were obtained.The relative standard deviation was < 1.0 % for a solution of 3.0x10 -4 mol L -1 hydroquinone and 2.0x10 -3 mol L -1 hydrogen peroxide in 0.1 mol L -1 phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 (n=8).The lifetime of this biosensor was 6 months (at least 300 determinations).
