Abstract
AbstractBased on an oxygen reducing electrode combining bilirubin oxidase and multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified gold (BOD‐MWCNT‐Au electrode) a bienzyme sensor is developed. Therefore the BOD‐MWCNT‐Au electrode is covalently coupled to enzymes catalysing oxygen‐consuming reactions (glucose oxidase and ascorbate oxidase) to result in a membrane‐free bienzyme electrode. The electrochemical characterisation of these bienzyme sensors reveals an enzyme substrate sensitivity down to 250 μM glucose and 100 μM ascorbate. In addition, the assembled sensor systems allow amperometric measurements in a potential range where the influence of interfering substances reacting directly at the transducing electrode is minimised. The results indicate that the BOD electrode provides a suitable platform for sensing analytes of medical and environmental interest for which oxidases of high activity are available.
