title: Poly(brilliant cresyl blue)-carbonnanotube modified electrodes for determination of NADH and fabrication of ethanol dehydrogenase-based biosensor.
abstract: A single walled-carbon nanotube (SWNT) modified with poly brilliant cresyl blue (PBCB) glassy carbon electrode has been fabricated by a simple, method in order to facilitate electrocatalytic detection of NADH. At this chemically modified electrode, NADH was determined in neutral phosphate buffer solution at 0V (vs. SCE). The amperometric detection provided a wide linear current vs. concentration range (3.0-104.2 microM), a fast response time (within 5s), high sensitivity [9.89nA (muM)(-1)] and a low detection limit (1.0 microM, S/N=3). No interference was observed with a 100-fold excess of dopamine or uric acid. An ethanol biosensor also was developed using the nanocomposite modified electrode, by immobilizing ethanol dehydrogenase with carrageenan. In this case a linear ethanol concentration response was achieved in the range from 0.4 to 2.4mM and the detection limit was estimated to be 0.1mM (S/N=3). The analytical performance achieved with the of the PBCB/SWNT nanocomposite electrode is expected to the development of novel biosensors, biofuel cells, and other bioelectrochemical devices.
