Nanomolar Detection of Glutamate at a Biosensor Based on Screen-Printed Electrodes Modified with Carbon Nanotubes.

The amperometric glutamate biosensor based on screen-printed electrodes containing carbon nanotubes (CNT), and its integration in a flow injection analysis system, is described herein. The sensor was fabricated by simply adsorbing enzyme glutamate oxidase (GlutOx) on a commercial substrate containing multi-wall CNT. The resulting device displayed excellent electroanalytical properties toward the determination of L-glutamate in a wide linear range (0.01-10 μM) with low detection limit (10 nM, S/N≥3), fast response time (≤5 s), and good operational and long-term stability. The CNT modified screen-printed electrodes have a potential to be of general interest for designing of electrochemical sensors and biosensors.
