Antioxidant redox sensors based on DNA modified carbon screen-printed electrodes.

Antioxidant redox sensors based on DNA modified carbon screen-printed electrodes were developed. The carbon ink was doped with TiO2 nanoparticles, onto which double-strand DNA was adsorbed. A redox mediator, namely, tris-2,2'-bipyridine ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)3(2+)] was electrooxidized on the electrode surface to subsequently oxidize both the adsorbed ds-DNA and the antioxidants in solution. The resulting oxidation damage of the adsorbed ds-DNA was then detected by square wave voltammetry in a second solution containing only Ru(bpy)3Cl2 at a low concentration (microM). A kinetic model was developed to study the protecting role of antioxidants in aqueous solutions. The electrochemical sensor has been applied to evaluate the redox antioxidant capacity of different molecules.

Antioxidant sensors based on DNA-modified electrodes.

TiO2/ITO modified electrodes were developed to quantitatively photooxidize adsorbed ds-DNA and to study the effect of antioxidants as ds-DNA protecting agents. TiO2 films are used for efficient ds-DNA immobilization, for ds-DNA oxidation through photogenerated hydroxyl radicals, and as electrodes for amperometric sensing. The films, prepared by a sol-gel process, are deposited on ITO glass electrodes. Damages occurring after ds-DNA oxidation by ROS are detected by adding MB as an intercalant probe and by monitoring the electrochemical reduction current of the intercalated redox probe. The MB electrochemical signal is found to be sensitive enough to monitor ds-DNA structure changes, and the electrochemical sensor has been applied to the evaluation of the antioxidant properties of glutathione and gallic acid.

Plasma etched polymer microelectrochemical systems.

This paper presents a novel technique based on plasma etching for the mass production of polymer microchip devices. The method consists of the patterning of a photo-resist by a high resolution printer on a foil composed of three layers (5 microm copper/50 microm polyimide/5 microm copper). After this step, both copper layers are chemically etched in order to serve as a contact mask on the polyimide surface so as to produce the desired microstructure pattern. The foil is placed into a reactive plasma chamber in order to etch the exposed polyimide by means of an oxidizing plasma. The method enables holes, lines or larger areas to be etched, thereby generating either microholes, microchannels or electrodes in the plastic material. The copper can then be chemically removed or further patterned to produce conductive pads which are further electroplated with gold. The microchannel is then covered with a polyethylene terephthalate/polyethylene (PET/PE) lamination. The strength of this technology is that access holes for the fluid inlet and outlet, as well as gold coated electrodes can be fabricated without post-processing in a batch process. Demonstration of the application of such microelectrochemical systems is shown here by voltammetric detection inside a 60 nL microchannel, which presents the special feature of linear depletion of the analytes in the direction parallel to the microchannel.
