title: Improvement in selectivity and storage stability of a choline biosensor fabricated from poly(aniline-co-o-aminophenol).
abstract: A choline biosensor was fabricated by using electrochemical doping to immobilize choline oxidase in poly(aniline-co-o-aminophenol) film that exhibits a good electric activity over a wide pH range. Using cyclic voltammetry, impedance measurement and scanning electron microscopy characterized the poly(aniline-co-o-aminophenol) film doped with choline oxidase. The amperometric detection of choline is based on the oxidation of the H2O2 enzymatically produced on the choline biosensor. The choline biosensor has a lower potential dependence. Thus, its operational potential was controlled at a low potential of 0.40 V (vs.SCE). The response current of the choline biosensor increases with increasing temperature from 277.1 to 308.1 K. An apparent activation energy of 30.8 kJ mol(-1) was obtained. The choline biosensor has a wide linear response range from 1x10(-7) to 1x10(-4) M choline with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999 and has a high sensitivity of 127 microA cm(-2), at 0.40 V and pH 8.0. The response time of the biosensor is 15-25 s, depending on the applied potentials. An apparent Michaelis constant and an optimum pH for the immobilized enzyme are 1.8 mM choline and 8.4, respectively, which are very close to those of choline oxidase in solution. The effect of selected organic compounds on the response of the choline biosensor was studied. Together, these findings show that the choline biosensor exhibits a better selectivity to interfering species and a better storage stability.
