PG - 106-12 LID - S0956-5663(13)00870-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bios.2013.12.002 [doi] AB - We describe a droplet-based microfluidic electrochemical sensor using platinum-black (Pt-black) microelectrode. Pt-black microelectrode was generated by electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles on bare Pt microelectrode. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image displays a flower-like microstructure of Pt nanoparticels. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) indicate that the Pt-black efficiently decreased the charge transfer resistance and improved the electrocatalytic activity towards oxidation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Compared with bare Pt microelectrode, the current response on Pt-black microelectrode increased 10.2 folds. The effect of applied potential and electrodeposition time has been investigated in detail. The proposed sensor was validated by performing enzyme activity assay in flowing droplets. For demonstration, glucose oxidase (GOx) is chosen as the model enzyme, which catalyzes the oxidation of beta-D-glucose to the product H2O2. The enzyme activity of GOx was evaluated by measuring the electrochemical current responding to various glucose concentrations. And the results indicate that this microfluidic sensor holds great potential in fabricating novel glucose sensors with linear response up to 43.5mM. The analytical applications of the droplet-based microfluidic sensor were tested by using human blood serum samples. Reproducibility, interferences, and long-term stability of the modi fi ed electrode were also investigated. The present approach shows the feasibility and great potentials in constructing highly sensitive and low-consumption sensors in the field of droplet microfluidics.
