Abstract-Gold screen-printed electrodes coated with thin films of layered double hydroxides containing cobalt and aluminium (Co 1.57 Al(OH) x SO 4 , shortened as CoAl) have been investigated for the design of an electrochemical tyrosinasebased biosensor used for the detection of a complex mixture of polyphenols extracted from green tea. Physicochemical analyses show that the resulted biosensor exhibits very attractive characteristics: a high sensitivity, a large dynamic range (up to 1000 ng.mL −1 ), and very low limits of detection (0.33 pg.mL −1 and 0.03 pg.mL −1 for oxidation and reduction, respectively).Index Terms-Atomic force microscopy, electrochemical biosensor, layered double hydroxide, polyphenols, tyrosinase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
