Abstract

In this study, we reported on a low detection limit penicillin biosensor with layer-by-layer (LbL) film containing single-graphene nanosheets (SGNs) preadsorbed with hematein, ionic liquids (ILs) and penicillinase. The penicillinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of penicillin to penicilloic acid, where H+ is liberated and monitored amperometrically with hematein as a pH indicator. The SGN-hematein/ILs/penicillinase biosensor exhibited excellent performance for penicillin in PBS with a wide range from 1.25×10−13 to 7.5×10−3M, and a low detection limit of 10−13M (0.04ppt, S/N≥3). Furthermore, the detection of penicillin concentration in real sample (milk) had acceptable accuracy with the assay system.
