Abstract
AbstractA uric acid (UA) electrochemical biosensor was constructed using ferrocene (Fc) decorated cuprous oxide (Cu2O) enhanced electro-active characteristics and covalently immobilized with uricase (UOx) on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical characteristics of the fabricated electrode was analysed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). DPV studies revealed rapid response of fabricated electrode UOx/Fc/Cu2O/GCE towards UA in a wide concentration range of 0.1–1,000 μM with a sensitivity of 1.900 μA mM−1 cm−2 and very low detection limit of 0.0596 μM. A very low magnitude Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) value was evaluated as 34.7351 μM which indicated the chemical attraction of the enzyme towards the UA was much higher. The developed biosensor was successfully applied to detect UA in human urine samples. Moreover, reproducibility and stability studies demonstrated the fabricated UOx/Fc/Cu2O/GCE biosensor had high reproducibility with a RSD of 2.8% and good reusability with a RSD of 3.2%. Specificity studies results showed the fabricated biosensor had strong anti-interference ability. The improved sensor performance was attributed to the synergistic electronic properties of Cu2O and Fc that provided enhances delectrocatalytic activity and electron transfer. The present biosensor can be extended for use in clinical settings.
