Glucose Oxidase/Nano-ZnO/Thin Film Deposit FTO as an Innovative Clinical Transducer: A Sensitive Glucose Biosensor

Abstract

In the present research, a new biocompatible electrode is proposed as a rapid and direct glucose biosensing technique that improves on the deficiencies of fast clinical devices in laboratory investigations. Nano-ZnO (nanostructured zinc oxide) was sputtered by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering system on a precovered fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) conductive layer. Spin-coated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) at optimized instrumental deposition conditions was applied to prepare the effective medium for glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) covalent immobilization through cyanuric chloride (GOx/nano-ZnO/PVA/FTO). The electrochemical behavior of glucose on the fabricated GOx/nano-ZnO/PVA/FTO biosensor was investigated by I - V techniques. In addition, field emission scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were applied to assess the morphology of the modified electrode surface. The I - V results indicated good sensitivity for glucose detection (0.041 mA per mM) within 0.2–20 mM and the limit of detection was 2.0 μM. We believe that such biodevices have good potential for tracing a number of biocompounds in biological fluids along with excellent accuracy, selectivity, and precise analysis. The fast response time of the fabricated GOx/nano-ZnO/PVA/FTO biosensor (less than 3 s) could allow most types of real-time analysis.

An Electrochemical Sandwich Immunosensor Based on Signal Amplification Technique for the Determination of Alpha-Fetoprotein

“…EIS can give information about the impedance change on the interface of the electrode during the modification process (Naderi Asrami et al, 2020). The semicircle diameter of EIS is equal to the electron transfer resistance (R et ), which controls the electron transfer kinetics of the redox probe on the electrode surface (Campuzano et al, 2017;Ganbat et al, 2020).…”

A New Electrochemical Platform for Dasatinib Anticancer Drug Sensing Using Fe3O4-SWCNTs/Ionic Liquid Paste Sensor

“…Although chromatographic methods have long been used for this purpose, their use was hampered by the disadvantages such as the use of toxic solvents, the need for a skilled operator, and the inability to convert portable kits [ 22 ]. Furthermore, research has ensued to provide a fast, inexpensive, high-performance method to measure the important biological compounds [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Preparation of Graphene Oxide-Embedded Hydrogel as a Novel Sensor Platform for Antioxidant Activity Evaluation of Scutellaria baicalensis

“…On the other hand, electrochemical methods have attracted a lot of attention because of their rapidity and efficiency (Kilmartin, 2001;Blasco et al, 2007;Teixeira et al, 2013;Apak et al, 2016). The non-radical electrochemical methods include cyclic voltammetry, enzyme voltammetry, and potentiometric analysis (Ghanei-Motlagh et al, 2019;Ghanei-Motlagh and Baghayeri, 2020;Naderi Asrami et al, 2020;Karimi-Maleh et al, 2021c;Nodehi et al, 2021). Electrode poisoning is the reduction of efficiency on the electrode surface due to the deposition of reactants (Karimi-Maleh et al, 2020).…”
