Abstract
A simple and reliable technique has been developed for the construction of an amperometric acetylcholinesterase biosensor based on screen-printed carbon electrodes. For the first time, one-step modification using single-walled carbon nanotubes and Co phtalocyanine has been proposed to decrease the working potential and to increase the signal of thiocholine oxidation. The biosensor developed made it possible to detect 5-50Â ppb of paraoxon and 2-50Â ppb of malaoxon with detection limits of 3 and 2Â ppb, respectively (incubation 15Â min). The biosensor showed high reproducibility when measurements of the substrate and inhibitor were performed (R.S.D. about 1% and 2.5%, respectively). The reliability of the inhibition measurements was confirmed by testing spiked samples of sparkling and tape waters.
