Carbon Nanotubes-Based Amperometric Cholesterol Biosensor Fabricated Through Layer-by-Layer Technique

A carbon nanotubes-based amperometric cholesterol biosensor has been fabricated through layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition of a cationic polyelectrolyte (PDDA, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)-modified gold electrode, followed by electrochemical generation of a nonconducting poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PPD) film as the protective coating. Electrochemical impedance measurements have shown that PDDA/ChOx multilayer film could be formed uniformly on MWNTsmodified gold electrode. Due to the strong electrocatalytic properties of MWNTs toward H2O2 and the low permeability of PPD film for electroacitve species, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid and acetaminophen, the biosensor has shown high sensitivity and good anti-interferent ability in the detection of cholesterol. The effect of the pH value of the detection solution on the response of the biosensor was also investigated. A linear range up to 6.0 mM has been observed for the biosensor with a detection limit of 0.2 mM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant and the maximum response current density were calculated to be 7.17 mM and 7.32 m Ac m � 2 , respectively.
