AMPEROMETRIC BIOSENSORS BASED ON THE IMMOBILIZATION OF OXIDASES IN A PRUSSIAN BLUE FILM BY ELECTROCHEMICAL CODEPOSITION

Prussian blue has been formed by cyclic voltammetry onto the basal pyrolytic graphite surface to prepare a chemically modified electrode which provides excellent electrocatalysis for both oxidation and reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It is found for the first time that glucose oxidase or D-amino oxidase can be incorporated into a Prussian blue film during its electrochemical growth process. Two amperometric biosensors were fabricated by electrochemical codeposition, and the resulting sensors were protected by coverage with a thin film of Nafion. The influence of various experimental conditions was examined for optimum analytical performance. The glucose sensor responds rapidly to substrates with a detection limit of 2 x 10(-6) M and a linear concentration range of 0.01-3 mM. There was no interference from 2 mM ascorbic acid or uric acid. Another (D-amino acid) sensor gave a detection limit of 3 x 10(-5) M D-alanine, injected with a linear concentration range of 7.0 x 10(-5)-1.4 x 10(-2) M. Glucose and D-amino acid sensors remain relatively stable for 20 and 15 days, respectively. There is no obvious interference from anion electroactive species due to a low operating potential and excellent permselectivity of Nafion.

CUPRIC HEXACYANOFERRATE COLLOID DOPED POLYPYRROLE FILM-MODIFIED ELECTRODE

Anionic colloid cupric hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) was incorporated into polypyrrole (PPy) films in the course of electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole from aqueous solution containing pyrrole and CuHCF colloid. The films obtained were dark brown in color. Three redox peaks appeared in the cyclic voltammogram (CV). The peaks around 0.7 V (vs, SCE) showed cation-selective properties. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic properties of the film were investigated.

THE YELLOW-TO-BLUE INTENSITY RATION (Y/B) OF DY-3+ EMISSION

Various borates, vanadates, niobates, antimonates, titanates, zirconates and CaS doped with Dy3+ were prepared. Factors which have an effect on the yellow-to-blue intensity ratio (Y/B) of Dy3+ emission are reported. Y/B increases with decreasing Z/r or electronegativity of the next-neighbour element M in the complex oxides Dy-O-M. The greater the degree of covalency between Dy3+ and O2-, the greater Y/B is. When Dy3+ is located at a site with an inverse centre and high symmetry, Dy3+ displays no luminescence. It seems that Y/B of Dy3+ located at a site deviated from an inverse centre is greater than that of Dy3+ located at a site without an inverse centre. Y/B does not vary much with the variation in concentration of Dy3+ when Dy3+ is substituted for an element with the same valency, but it does depend on the concentration of Dy3+ when Dy3+ is substituted for an element with a different valency in the matrix, because defects are formed in this case.

ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF MOLYBDENUM SERIES OF HETEROPOLY BLUE WITH KEGGIN STRUCTURE

The present paper reports the methods for preparing and isolating 8 kinds of 1:12 molybdenum series of heteropoly blue complexes KyHzXMo12O40 . nH2O (X=Si, P, As, Ge). The products were characterized by elemental analyses, potential titration, polarograms, cyclic voltammetry, IR spectra, visible-UV spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, XPS and P-31 NMR. The single crystal structure of 4-electron molybdenum-silicon heteropoly blue was measured and the positions of reduced molybdenum atoms were determined, i.e. they were located at Mo(3), Mo(7), Mo(8) and Mo(10). The experimental results show that the heteropoly blue remains Keggin structure. ESR spectra of heteropoly blue solids were first studied, from which it was found that the delocalization extent of 2-electron heteropoly blue and 4-electron heteropoly blue is smaller than that of 1-electron heteropoly blue. The study of thermal properties shows that the thermal stability increases with the increase of the reduction extent of heteropoly blue. The study of redox properties shows that the oxidizing power order of heteropoly blue changes in different mediums, and the polarographic half-wave voltage is found to be dependent on the electronegativity of the hetero atom linearly. It is found that the phosphorus heteropoly blue and arsenic heteropoly blue show a strong anti-acid property.

THE SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF MOLYBDENUM-SILICON BLUE

The single crystal of heteropoly blue, HsSiMo12O40.12H2O, the reduced product of molybdenum-silicon heteropoly acid, was prepared by electrochemical reduction and evaporation in nitrogen atmosphere. The Crystal structure of the product was determined. The heteropoly blue H8SiMo12O40.12H2O, Crystallizes space group P1BAR a = 1.3769 (3) nm, b = 1.4346 (4) nm, c = 1.4134 (4) nm, alpha = 120.47 (2)-degrees, beta = 110.70 (2)-degrees, gamma = 66.11 (2)-degrees, Z = 2, R = 0.0608. The heteropoly blue anion was determined to have Keggin Structure and alpha-isomer and it remained the structure of the unreduced heteropoly acid anion. But the distortion of the structure and the changes of bond length and bond angle take place obviously. The four Mo5+ Positions were determined in the structure.

SENSITIVE AMPEROMETRIC DETECTION OF GLUCOSE BY REVERSED PHASE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY AT A PRUSSIAN BLUE CHEMICALLY MODIFIED ELECTRODE OF NOVEL CONSTRUCTION

A new liquid chromatography electrochemical (LCEC) scheme for glucose sensing has been developed on the basis of a Prussian Blue chemically modified electrode (CME) of novel construction and characterized in terms of various experimental parameters by the flow injection analysis (FIA) technique. Unique hydrodynamic voltammograms were obtained for the first time at the CME in the flow-through amperometric detection of glucose, and subsequently both anodic and cathodic peaks could be expected on monitoring the operating potential in the modest positive or negative region. The unique pH dependence on the CME response towards glucose makes it perfectly compatible with conventional reversed phase liquid chromatography systems. On the basis of these features, practical application in glucose LCEC detection has been effectively performed; a linear response range over three orders of magnitude and a detection limit of subpicomole level were readily obtained. The capability of the established LCEC mode in the direct sensing of urinary glucose has been demonstrated.

SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF BILIRUBIN IN DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE

The electrochemical reduction of bilirubin (BR) in dimethyl formamide (DMF) is discussed in detail. The kinetic study of the electroreduction process of BR results in values of 7.94 x 10(-6) cm2/s for the diffusion coefficient and about 10(-3) cm/s for the standard heterogeneous electrode reaction rate constant. Thin-layer spectroelectrochemical investigations of BR exhibit a blue shift and a red shift at E(pc) = -0.6 V and E(pc) = -0.85 V respectively. They also give values of E0' = -1.55 V and n = 1 for the reduction process, and E0' = -1.35 V and n = 1 for the oxidation process. It was found experimentally that as the potential changes from negative to positive, the sequential color changes are similar to those of some of the color components in visible light. A mechanism for BR electroreduction in DMF has been proposed.

AMPEROMETRIC DETECTION OF CATECHOLAMINES WITH LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY AT A NOVELLY CONSTRUCTED PRUSSIAN BLUE CHEMICALLY MODIFIED ELECTRODE

A novel Prussian blue chemically modified electrode (CME) was constructed and characterized for liquid chromatography electrochemical detection (LCEC) of catecholamines. Both anodic and cathodic peaks could be obtained by monitoring at constant applied potential at anodic and slightly cathodic potential ranges (0.3-0.7 and -0.2-0.1 V vs. SCE), respectively. When arranged in a series configuration, using the modified electrodes as generating and collecting detectors, extremely high effective collection efficiencies of 0.91 (for norepinephrine) and 0.58 (for dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) were achieved in dual-electrode LCEC for catecholamines; and a linear response range over 3 orders of magnitude and a detection limit of 10 pg were obtained with a downstream CME as the indicating detector.

A film of the perfluorosulphonic acid polymer Nafion coated on top of the Prussian Blue-modified glassy carbon electrode can improve the mechanical stability of the Prussian Blue layer in the flow stream. Hydrazine was detected by flow-injection analysis at the modified electrode with high sensitivity. The limit of detection was 0.6 ng.

LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH ELECTROCATALYTIC DETECTION OF CYSTEINE, N-ACETYLCYSTEINE AND GLUTATHIONE BY A PRUSSIAN BLUE FILM-MODIFIED ELECTRODE

Chemically modified electrodes prepared by adsorbing prussian blue on a glassy carbon electrode are shown to catalyse the electro-oxidation of cysteine, N-acetylcysteine and glutathione in acidic media. The catalytic response is evaluated with respect to the potential scan rate, the solution pH, the concentration dependence, and other variables. Covering the electrode with Nafion(R) film improved the stability and reproducibility in liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection to the extent that repetitive sample injections produced relative standard deviations of less than 5% over several hours of operation. The limit of detection was 4 pmol for cysteine, 33 pmol for glutathione and 61 pmol for N-acetylcysteine.
