A novel biosensor for the determination of Bisphenol-A has been developed in this study. For this purpose, a carbon paste electrode modified with poly(amidoamine)-salicylidenimine platinum(II) (PAMAM-Sal-Pt(II)) and the tyrosinase enzyme was prepared. BPA determination was based on the electrochemical reduction of an enzymatically produced quinone compound at –0.15 V. Optimum working conditions for the prepared biosensor were investigated. The linear working range and detection limit were found to be 0.01–1.0 μM and 1 nM, respectively. The optimum pH value and working temperature were defined as 7.0 and 40 ℃, respectively. The reproducibility of the biosensor is very good. It was found that phenol, nitrophenol, urea, potassium nitrate, hexane, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate do not interfere with the BPA determination. The prepared biosensor was used for the first time in dentistry for the determination of BPA in a resin-based composite material used as a bracket adhesive in orthodontics.
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.
