An amperometric enzyme electrode for creatine determination prepared by the immobilization of creatinase and sarcosine oxidase in poly(vinylferrocenium).

A new enzyme electrode for the determination of creatine was developed by immobilizing creatinase (CI) and sarcosine oxidase (SO). The enzymes were co-immobilized in a poly(vinylferrocenium) matrix onto the surface of a platinum working electrode. Crosslinking with glutaraldehyte (GA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was selected as the best immobilization method for the enzymatic system. Determination of creatine was performed by the oxidation of enzymatically generated H2O2 at + 0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working range of the electrode was 2.0 x 10(-5) - 3.2 x 10(-4) M and the response time was about 50 s. The effects of pH, temperature, enzyme ratio and buffer concentration were investigated and optimum parameters were found to be 7.5, 37 degrees C, 2.5:1 (CI:SO) and 0.05 M, respectively. The stability and reproducibility of the enzyme electrode have been also studied.

Determination of creatine in commercial creatine powder with new potentiometric and amperometric biosensors.

New potentiometric and amperometric biosensors were developed for the determination of creatine. The potentiometric creatine biosensor was prepared by immobilizing urease and creatinase on poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) ammonium membrane electrode containing palmitic acid prepared by using nonactine as an ammonium-ionophore. The linear working range of the biosensor was 1.0 x 10(-5) - 1.0 x 10(-3) M and the response time was about 60 s. The optimum pH, temperature, and buffer concentration were found to be 7.0, 20 degrees C, and 5 mM, respectively. The slope of the electrode was 49.2 mV/p[creatine]. The storage stabilization of the biosensor was investigated and 40-45% decrease in the response was detected after 2 months. The amperometric creatine biosensor was prepared by immobilizing creatinase (CI) and sarcosine oxidase (SO) in a poly(vinylferrocenium) matrix onto the surface of a platinum working electrode by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) and bovine serum albumine (BSA). Determination of creatine was performed by the oxidation of enzymatically generated H2O2 at +0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working range of the biosensor was 2.0 x 10(-5) - 3.2 x 10(-4) M and the response time was about 50 s. The effects of pH, temperature, enzyme ratio and buffer concentration were investigated and optimum parameters were found to be 7.5, 37 degrees C, 2.5:1 (CI:SO) and 0.05 M, respectively. The determination of creatine in commercial creatine powder was successfully carried out with these creatine biosensors by using the standard addition and calibration curve methods. The results were in good agreement with those obtained from Jaffé method at 95% confidence level.

A new potentiometric ammonium electrode for biosensor construction.

New ammonium-selective membrane electrode based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane containing palmitic acid (a long-chain fatty acid) and nonactin as an ammonium ionophore for the determination of ammonium ions in the 10(-7) - 10(-1) mol/L concentration range was prepared and compared to those of the electrode prepared by using carboxylated PVC. Sebacate was used as a plasticiser for both of the ammonium sensor membranes. The analytical characteristics of the ammonium electrodes was investigated. The effect of pH, buffer concentration, temperature and stirring rate on the response to ammonium electrode was investigated. The linear working range and sensitivity of the electrodes were also determined. Ammonium electrodes give Nernstian response (52-58 mV/p[NH4+]) throughout the ammonium ion concentration range of 10(-1) to 10(-6)M with detection limits of 10(-6)M ammonium ions. The ammonium-selective electrodes prepared by using the PVC membranes containing palmitic acid showed more effective performance than those of the carboxylated PVC. The ammonium ion sensor has potential application in the analysis of ammonium ions for biosensor construction.

Urea biosensors based on PVC membrane containing palmitic acid.

A new urea biosensor was prepared by immobilizing urease with four different procedures on poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) ammonium membrane electrode containing palmitic acid by using nonactine as an ammonium-ionophore. The analytical characteristics were investigated and were compared those of the biosensor prepared by using carboxylated PVC. The effect of pH, buffer concentration, temperature, urease concentration, stirring rate and enzyme immobilization procedures on the response to urea of the enzyme electrode were investigated. The linear working range and sensitivity of the biosensor were also determined. The urea biosensor prepared by using the PVC membranes containing palmitic acid showed more effective performance than those of the carboxylated PVC based biosensors. Additionally, urea assay in serum was successfully carried out by using the standard addition method.
