传感器类型
电化学生物传感器
检测对象
L-乳酸(L-lactic acid / lactate);样品基质:磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS,pH 7.0),文中提及可应用于血液和食品样品
检测原理
传感器以LOx为识别元件,催化L-乳酸氧化为丙酮酸。传统反应以O2为电子受体生成H2O2,本工作用可溶性媒介体HMF替代O2作为人工电子受体。LOx催化过程中产生的电子经HMF传递至金电极,HMF在+0.30 V被氧化,产生与乳酸浓度成正比的计时电流。MPTS三维溶胶-凝胶网络包埋LOx,保持其催化活性并提高酶负载量;AuNPs分散在网络中作为微小电子传导中心,缩短电子转移距离并增强电流。因此乳酸浓度越高,催化电流越大,通过电化学工作站读取电流即可定量。
检测灵敏度
LOD: 4.0 mM;线性范围: 50 mM–0.25 mM;灵敏度: 3.4 mA mM^-1;r = 0.994
效应效果
与无AuNPs的Au/MPTS/LOx相比,AuNPs显著提高电流响应。重复性RSD为2%(同一传感器测0.1 mM乳酸10次),重现性RSD为5%(三个不同传感器)。4°C保存10天后信号衰减10%。干扰实验显示,0.1 mM酒石酸、柠檬酸、葡萄糖、果糖不改变响应;0.1 mM抗坏血酸有干扰,但10 mM无影响。QCM表明MPTS/AuNPs网络可负载619 ng cm^-2 LOx,约为裸金或DTSP金表面的3.5倍。作者认为该杂化网络适合乳酸检测,可应用于医学和食品工业。

英文摘要
The design and characterization of a new nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrid material and its application to L-lactic acid determination are described. This material is based on the integration of the enzyme lactate oxidase (LOx) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into a sol-gel 3D polymeric network derived from (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) previously formed onto a gold surface. MPTS presents the advantage of forming a 3D polymeric network containing a large number of thiol tail groups distributed throughout its structure that enable both its anchoring onto gold surfaces and the AuNPs incorporation. Moreover, this matrix provides a biocompatible environment that preserves the catalytic activity of LOx after its immobilization and allows the incorporation of a high amount of enzyme, which is expected to improve the sensitivity of the final biosensing device. Characterization of the designed biosensing platform was performed using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. From the conjunction of these techniques, information about (i) the kinetic of LOx adsorption process in real time, (ii) the amount of LOx incorporated into the network, and (iii) the morphological characteristics at the nanometre level of the designed biosensing material was obtained. This information is very useful on the development of successful biosensing devices. Finally, the response of the biosensor to L-lactic acid was evaluated. The biosensor responds linearly to L-lactic acid in the range of 50 µM to 0.25 mM, with a sensitivity of 3.4 µA mM(-1) and a detection limit of 4.0 µM.
