Disposable Biosensor Based on Amidase/CeO2/GNR Modified Inkjet-printed CNT Electrodes-droplet Based Paracetamol Detection in Biological Fluids for “Point-of-care” Applications

Abstract

A disposable acetaminophen biosensor based on inkjet-printed CNT electrodes (IJPCNT) modified with amidase/cerium dioxide@graphene nanoribbons composite was developed (ACeO2@GNR/IJPCNT). The enzyme amidase A was used for the first time as a recognition element. Inkjet-printed CNT electrodes served as a basis for the construction of a biosensor that enables droplet detection using 5 μL sample volume. The biosensor showed high selectivity, sensitivity, a low detection limit of 0.18 μM and a wide working linear range from 1 to 100 μM. The proposed approach allows fast and reliable detection of acetaminophen in biological fluids with negligible matrix effect and remarkable reproducibility.
