Modified carbon paste electrodes for flow injection amperometric determination of isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in serum.
A carbon paste electrode modified with the adsorbed products of the electrochemical oxidation of adenosine triphosphate is described. The electrode was applied to the amperometric electrocatalytic detection of the reduced form of both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. The catalytic oxidation current shows a linear dependence on the concentration of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide up to 1x10(-4)M, with a detection limit of 5x10(-9)M. Modified carbon paste electrodes were coated with an electrogenerated film of nonconducting poly(o-phenylenediamine) to obtain a stable amperometric response for at least 150h. In addition to static measurements, determination of both reduced cofactors was carried out in a flow injection analysis system with a thin-layer amperometric detection cell. The electrocatalytic monitoring of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate was applied to flow injection measurement of isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in serum. The results were in good agreement with those for the standard spectrophotometric test kit. The proposed method consumed less time and reagents and provided better precision than the standard method.
