Abstract
Redox mediators enable an efficient electron transfer between redox-enzymes and the electrochemical surface of amperometric sensors. A stable signal was obtained using a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) modified carbon electrode. In the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) hydrogen peroxide could be monitored with a detection limit of 7 nM at a potential of + 20 mV vs SCE. With a constant concentration of hydrogen peroxide the detection limit for HRP was 7 ng/ml. Using TTF-modified carbon electrodes, rabbit immunoglobulin could be detected in a sandwich approach with a range between 5 and 100 ng/ml. In flow-through systems the preference of consecutive measurements of HRP could be increased by a short polarization of the TTF-modified carbon electrode at + 100 mV.
