Abstract

The last decade has witnessed an intensive research effort in the field of electrochemical sensors, with a particular focus on the design of amperometric biosensors for diverse analytical applications. In this context, nanomaterial integration in the construction of amperometric biosensors may constitute one of the most exciting approaches. The attractive properties of nanomaterials have paved the way for the design of a wide variety of biosensors based on various electrochemical detection methods to enhance the analytical characteristics. However, most of these nanostructured materials are not explored in the design of amperometric biosensors. This review aims to provide insight into the diverse properties of nanomaterials that can be possibly explored in the construction of amperometric biosensors.

Analytical strategies for amperometric biosensors based on chemically modified electrodes
Encarnación Lorenzo

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 1998

Various strategies based on the use of chemically modified electrodes for the development of amperometric biosensors are described. Particular emphasis is placed on materials capable of catalyzing the oxidation of NADH and coupling these with enzymatic activities for biosensor construction. In terms of electrocatalysts, the discussion will centre on electrodeposited films of 3,4dihydroxy benzaldehyde (3,4-DHB) and related analogs as well as on electrodeposited films of transition metal complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6dione (phen-dione). Electrodeposited films of these materials have been coupled to the enzymatic activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase for the development of biosensors for aldehydes and ethanol, respectively.

Nanomaterials for biosensing applications: a review
Serge Cosnier

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014

These analytes are often of biological origin like DNAs of bacteria or viruses, or proteins which are generated from the immune system (antibodies, antigens) of infected or contaminated living organisms. Such analytes can also be simple molecules like glucose or pollutants when a biological receptor unit with particular specificity is available. One of many other challenges in biosensor development is the efficient signal capture of the biological recognition event (transduction). Such transducers translate the interaction of the analyte with the biological element into electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, magnetic, gravimetric, or optical signals. In order to increase sensitivities and to lower detection limits down to even individual molecules, nanomaterials are promising candidates due to the possibility to immobilize an enhanced quantity of bioreceptor units at reduced volumes and even to act itself as transduction element. Among such nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots, polymer nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, and graphene are intensively studied. Due to the vast evolution of this research field, this review summarizes in a non-exhaustive way the advantages of nanomaterials by focusing on nano-objects which provide further beneficial properties than "just" an enhanced surface area.

Materials, 2014

Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in the development of biosensors over the past decade. The development, testing, optimization, and validation of new biosensors has become a highly interdisciplinary effort involving experts in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. The sensitivity, the specificity and the reproducibility of biosensors have improved tremendously as a result of incorporating nanomaterials in their design. In general, nanomaterials-based electrochemical immunosensors amplify the sensitivity by facilitating greater loading of the larger sensing surface with biorecognition molecules as well as improving the electrochemical properties of the transducer. The most common types of nanomaterials and their properties will be described. In addition, the utilization of nanomaterials in immunosensors for biomarker detection will be discussed since these biosensors have enormous potential for a myriad of clinical uses. Electrochemical immunosensors provide a specific and simple analytical alternative as evidenced by their brief analysis times, inexpensive instrumentation, lower assay cost as well as good portability and amenability to miniaturization. The role nanomaterials play in biosensors, their ability to improve detection capabilities in low concentration analytes yielding clinically useful data and their impact on other biosensor performance properties will be discussed. Finally, the most common types of electroanalytical detection methods will be briefly touched upon.

Recent Advances in Electropolymerized Conducting Polymers in Amperometric Biosensors
Esperanza Garcia-ruiz

Microchimica Acta, 2003

Conducting electroactive polymers (CPs) are materials discovered just over 20 years ago which have aroused considerable interest on account of their electronic conducting properties and unique chemical and biochemical properties. Consequently, they have numerous (bio)analytical and technological applications. CPs are easily synthesized and deposited onto the conductive surface of a given substrate from monomer solutions by electrochemical polymerization with precise electrochemical control of their formation rate and thickness. Coating electrodes with CPs under mild conditions opens up enormous possibilities for the immobilization of biomolecules and bioaffinity or biorecognizing reagents, the improvement of their electrocatalytic properties, rapid electron transfer and direct communication to produce a range of analytical signals and new analytical applications. Co-immobilization of other molecules (enzymatic co-factors or charge-transfer mediators) by entrapment within electropolymerized films or by covalent binding on these films permits straightforward fabrication of reagentless biosensors. The characteristics of CPs and their uses, mainly in amperometric biosensors, are reviewed. The most recent applications and lines of research related to CP films are summarized in the different sections of the paper, and probable future trends are discussed.

1.1 Introduction Over the last decade, great attention has been paid to the inclusion of newly developed nanomaterials such as nanowires, nanotubes, and nanocrystals in sensor devices. This can be attributed to the ability to tailor the size and structure, and hence the properties of nanomaterials, thus opening up excellent prospects for designing novel sensing systems and enhancing the performance of bioanalytical assays [1]. Considering that most biological systems, including viruses, membranes , and protein complexes, are naturally nanostructured materials and that molecular interactions take place on a nanometer scale, nanomaterials are intuitive candidates for integration into biomedical and bioanalytical devices [2, 3]. Moreover, they can pave the way for the miniaturization of sensors and devices with nanometer dimensions (nanosensors and nanobiosensors) in order to obtain better sensitivity, specifi city, and faster rates of recognition compared to current solutions. The chemical, electronic, and optical properties of nanomaterials generally depend on both their dimensions and their morphology [4]. A wide variety of nanostructures have been reported in the literature for interesting analytical applications. Among these, organic and inorganic nanotubes, nanoparticles, and metal oxide nanowires have provided promising building blocks for the realization of nanoscale electrochemical biosensors due to their biocompatibility and technologically important combination of properties, such as high surface area, good electrical properties, and chemical stability. Moreover, the integration of nanomaterials in electrochemical devices offers the possibility of realizing portable, easy-to-use, and inexpensive sensors, due to the ease of miniaturization of both the material and the transduction system. Over the last decade, this fi eld has been extensively investigated and a huge number of papers have been published. This chapter principally summarizes progress made in the last few years (2005 to date) in the integration of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nanoparticles, and polymer nanostructures in electrochemical biosensing systems.

Frontiers in bioscience (Elite edition)

Based on biological molecules combined with nanostructured components, the news generations of electrochemical biosensors can employ different transducers (potentiometric, amperometric and impedimetric) converting the chemical information into a measurable amperometric signal. Following this contemporary theme, our main focus in this review is to discuss different methodologies for application in biosensing, whose signal transduction is based on electrochemical principles. We apply a discussion on recent trends involving different nanostructured materials, but without daring to contemplate all nanomaterials incessantly cited in literature, which leads us to believe that this moment is an unprecedented revolution in the preparation of electrochemical biodevices. Besides, some structures of bio-nano interface and different electrochemical biosensors involved in diagnosis systems are also discussed.

Amperometric Biosensor: Increased Sensitivity Using Enzyme Nanoparticles
IJETM Journal

ipcbee.com

Here we present a comparative study of amperometric biosensor developed by using nanoparticles of Glucose oxidase enzyme itself (GOx np) with that of enzyme immobilized on to gold nanoparticles (Au np-GOx). The biosensor developed by immobilizing the GOx np (45-70 nm in size) directly onto the Pt. electrode could detect glucose concentrations as low as 1 mM while the one with Au np-GOx (Au np 10-16 nm in size) showed a detection limit up to 5 mM only. Current response showed linearity up to 35 mM in both the cases. To the best of our knowledge the glucose biosensors prepared using various metal nanoparticles, Au, Ni, Ag (as reported in literature) showed a linear range from 2.7-30 mM glucose concentration. We are in the process of optimizing the immobilization methods and functionalization of the enzyme nanoparticles so as to have a wider temperature and pH stability of the biosensor. We feel the direct immobilization of enzyme nanoparticles, with proper choice of functionalization seems to be a promising strategy for biosensor development with higher sensitivities.

Francesco Palmisano

Fresenius' Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2000

The most significant goals achieved in the course of the last decade in the design of amperometric biosensors based on redox enzymes entrapped in electrosynthesised polymeric films are reviewed. Particular emphasis is devoted to non-conducting polymers with built-in permselectivity that revealed very promising materials for designing fast-response and interference-free, H2O2 detecting, amperometric biosensors. The role of surface analytical techniques to provide structural information allowing a better understanding of polymers properties and their relationship with the ultimate performance of the final device is also outlined. The most relevant applications of amperometric biosensors based on electropolymerised films to real samples analysis are also reviewed and some possible future trends highlighted.

    An Overview on Recent Progress in Electrochemical Biosensors for Antimicrobial Drug Residues in Animal-Derived Food
    Dr. Mustansara Yaqub

    Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2017

    Anti-microbial drugs are widely employed for the treatment and cure of diseases in animals, promotion of animal growth, and feed efficiency. However, the scientific literature has indicated the possible presence of antimicrobial drug residues in animal-derived food, making it one of the key public concerns for food safety. Therefore, it is highly desirable to design fast and accurate methodologies to monitor antimicrobial drug residues in animal-derived food. Legislation is in place in many countries to ensure antimicrobial drug residue quantities are less than the maximum residue limits (MRL) defined on the basis of food safety. In this context, the recent years have witnessed a special interest in the field of electrochemical biosensors for food safety, based on their unique analytical features. This review article is focused on the recent progress in the domain of electrochemical biosensors to monitor antimicrobial drug residues in animal-derived food.

    An Electrochemical Glucose Sensor Based on Zinc Oxide Nanorods
    Sanghamitra Mandal

    Sensors, 2015

    A glucose electrochemical sensor based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods was investigated. The hydrothermal sol-gel growth method was utilized to grow ZnO nanorods on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates. The total active area of the working electrode was 0.3 × 0.3 cm 2 where titanium metal was deposited to enhance the contact. Well aligned hexagonal structured ZnO nanorods with a diameter from 68 to 116 nm were obtained. The excitonic peak obtained from the absorbance spectroscopy was observed at ~370 nm. The dominant peak of Raman spectroscopy measurement was at 440 cm −1 , matching with the lattice vibration of ZnO. The uniform distribution of the GOx and Nafion membrane that has been done using spin coating technique at 4000 rotations per minute helps in enhancing the ion exchange and increasing the sensitivity of the fabricated electrochemical sensor. The amperometric response of the fabricated electrochemical sensor was 3 s. The obtained sensitivity of the fabricated ZnO electrochemical sensor was 10.911 mA/mM•cm 2 and the lower limit of detection was 0.22 µM.

    Assia Nait Merzoug

    Applied Sciences

    A membranous shaped Ni/Zn layered double hydroxide based nanohybrid was obtained using a low-cost template-free hydrothermal process at optimized growth conditions of 180 °C for 6 h. The synthesized nanohybrid was structurally, texturally and morphologically characterized using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, FTIR, XPS spectroscopy, BET analysis and FESEM microscopy. The adsorption performance of our product was estimated through the Azorubine dye removal from synthetic wastewater. We therefore studied the synergic effects of Ni/Zn adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, adsorbate concentration, stirring speed and temperature on the Azorubine adsorption efficiency. In this investigation, we obtained bi-structure based nanoadsorbent with 54% crystallinity order composed of nickel hydrate and zinc carbonate hydroxides in irregular nanoflake-like mesoporous nanohybrid morphology. Interestingly, it was also revealed to have high specific surface area (SSA) of around 110 m2 g...

    Metabolic Syndrome—An Emerging Constellation of Risk Factors: Electrochemical Detection Strategies
    shalini devi

    Sensors

    Metabolic syndrome is a condition that results from dysfunction of different metabolic pathways leading to increased risk of disorders such as hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders etc. As this condition cannot be diagnosed based on a single marker, multiple markers need to be detected and quantified to assess the risk facing an individual of metabolic syndrome. In this context, chemical- and bio-sensors capable of detecting multiple analytes may provide an appropriate diagnostic strategy. Research in this field has resulted in the evolution of sensors from the first generation to a fourth generation of ‘smart’ sensors. A shift in the sensing paradigm involving the sensing element and transduction strategy has also resulted in remarkable advancements in biomedical diagnostics particularly in terms of higher sensitivity and selectivity towards analyte molecule and rapid response time.
