Abstract
Octadecanethiol (ODT) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) prepared onto gold-coated glass plate has been modified by using nitrene reaction of 1-fluoro-2-nitro-4-azidobenzene (FNAB) that further covalently binds to cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) via thermal reaction. FNAB acts as a bridge (cross-linker) between SAM and ChOx. The ChOx/FNAB/ODT/Au electrode thus fabricated has been characterized using contact angle (CA) measurements, UV–vis spectroscopy, electrochemical techniques and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique, respectively. This ChOx/FNAB/ODT/Au bioelectrode has been utilized for estimation of cholesterol in solution using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. This SPR based cholesterol biosensor has linearity from 50 to 500 mg/dl of cholesterol in solution with lower detection limit of 50 mg/dl and shelf life of about 2 months when stored at 4 °C.
