Abstract
A xanthine oxidase was immobilized covalently onto chitosan bound gold coated iron nanoparticles (CHIT/Fe-NPs@Au) electrodeposited on the surface of pencil graphite electrode (PGE). A xanthine biosensor was fabricated using XOD/CHIT/Fe-NPs@Au/PGE as working, Ag/AgCl as reference and Pt as auxiliary electrode connected through potentiostat. The enzyme electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The biosensor exhibited optimum current response within 3s at pH 7.4, 35°C and working range 0.1–300μM, when polarized at 0.5V vs Ag/AgCl. The sensitivity of the biosensor was 0.001169mAμM–1cm–2 with detection limit of 0.1μM (S/N=3). The biosensor showed only 25% loss in its initial activity after its 100 uses over 100days, when stored at 4°C.
