A novel third-generation hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) biosensor(Hb/CdS/MWNTs/GCE) was fabricated through hemoglobin(Hb) adsorbed onto the mercaptoacetic acid modified CdS QDs/carboxyl multiwall carbon nanotubes'(MWNTs) films. Cyclic voltammogram of Hb/CdS/MWNTs/GCE showed a pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks with a formal potential(E^0) of-0.230 V(vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 mol/L pH=8.0 phosphate buffer solution(PBS), which was the characteristic of the Hb heme Fe(Ⅲ)/Fe(Ⅱ) redox couple. The biosensor shows an excellent electrocatalytic activity to the reduction of H2O2. The response time of the designed biosensor to H202 at a potential of-0.30 V was less than 2 s and linear relationships were obtained in the concentration ranges of 2.0×10^-6-2.7×10^-3 mol/L and 2.7×10^-3-7.7×10^-3 mol/L with a detection limit of 3.0×10^-7 mol/L(S/N=3). The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant Km was estimated to be 1.324 mmol/L that illustrated the excellent biological activity of the fixed Hb.
Molecularly imprinted polymers(MIPs) were applied as molecular recognition elements to an electro- chemical sensor for cinchonidine(CD). A kind of MIP was synthesized with cinchonidine as template, modified ro- sin(ethylene glycol maleic rosinate acrylate) containing the skeleton of phenanthrene rings as cross-linker and me- thylacrylic acid as functional monomer. MIP membrane was prepared on a glassy carbon electrode for the determina- tion of CD via free radical polymerization method. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and cyclic vol- tammetry(CV) were used to characterize the membrane electrochemical behavior in electrode fabrication process. The experimental conditions were discussed. Under optimum conditions, it was found that the response of peak cur- rents was linear to the concentration of CD in a range of 0.013-2.26 mmol/L. The detection limit for CD is 1 μmol/L the relative standard deviation for 100 μmol/L CD is 1.34% and the incubation time is 2 min. The sensor was applied to the determination of CD in urine samples with satisfactory results.

A novel type of Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified glass carbon electrode(Fe3O4/GCE) was constructed and the electrochemical properties of N-(4-nitro-2-phenoxyphenyl)methanesulfonamide(nimesulide) were studied on the Fe3O4/GCE.In 0.4mol/L HAc-NaAc buffer solution(pH=5.0),the electrode process of nimesulide was irreversible at bare GCE and Fe3O4/GCE.The Fe3O4/GCE exhibited a remarkable catalytic and enhancement effect on the reduction of nimesulide.The reduction peak potential of nimesulide shifted positively from-0.683 V at bare GCE to-0.625 V at Fe3O4/GCE,and the sensitivity was increased by ca.3 times.Some experimental conditions were optimized.The linear range between the peak current and the concentration of nimesulide was 2.6×10-6 "1.0×10-4mol/L(R=0.993) with a detection limit of 1.3×10-7mol/L.This method has been used to determine the content of nimesulide in medical tablets.The recovery was determined to be 96.9% "101.9% by means of standard addition method.The method is comparable to UV-Vis spectrometry.
