Disposable biosensor based on nanodiamond particles, ionic liquid and poly-l-lysine for determination of phenolic compounds.

This study describes the development of a highly sensitive amperometric biosensor for the analysis of phenolic compounds such as catechol. The biosensor architecture is based on the immobilization of tyrosinase (Tyr) on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) modified with nanodiamond particles (ND), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (IL) and poly-l-lysine (PLL). Surface morphologies of the electrodes during the modification process were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of the modified electrodes. Owing to the synergistic effect of the modification materials, the Tyr/PLL/ND-IL/SPE exhibited high sensitivity (328.2 µA mM-1) towards catechol with a wide linear range (5.0 × 10-8 - 1.2 × 10-5 M) and low detection limit (1.1 × 10-8 M). Furthermore, the method demonstrated good reproducibility and stability. The amperometric response of the biosensor towards other phenolic compounds such as bisphenol A, phenol, p-nitrophenol, m-cresol, p-cresol and o-cresol was also investigated. The analytical applicability of the biosensor was tested by the analysis of catechol in tap water. The results of the tap water analysis showed that the Tyr/PLL/ND-IL/SPE can be used as a practical and effective method for catechol determination.

CeO2·ZnO@biomass-derived carbon nanocomposite-based electrochemical sensor for efficient detection of ascorbic acid.

Ascorbic acid (AA), a prominent antioxidant commonly found in human blood serum, serves as a biomarker for assessing oxidative stress levels. Therefore, precise detection of AA is crucial for swiftly diagnosing conditions arising from abnormal AA levels. Consequently, the primary aim of this research is to develop a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for accurate AA determination. To accomplish this aim, we used a novel nanocomposite comprised of CeO2-doped ZnO adorned on biomass-derived carbon (CeO2·ZnO@BC) as the active nanomaterial, effectively fabricating a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Various analytical techniques were employed to scrutinize the structure and morphology features of the CeO2·ZnO@BC nanocomposite, ensuring its suitability as the sensing nanomaterial. This innovative sensor is capable of quantifying a wide range of AA concentrations, spanning from 0.5 to 1925 µM in a neutral phosphate buffer solution. It exhibits a remarkable sensitivity of 0.2267 µA µM-1cm-2 and a practical detection limit of 0.022 µM. Thanks to its exceptional sensitivity and selectivity, this sensor enables highly accurate determination of AA concentrations in real samples. Moreover, its superior reproducibility, repeatability, and stability underscore its reliability and robustness for AA quantification.

Development of an amperometric biosensor that can determine the amount of glucose in the blood using the glucose oxidase enzyme: Preparation of polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film.

In this study, a new amperometric biosensor was developed for glucose determination. For this purpose, polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film was prepared by electropolymerization of aniline and pyrrole with poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) on a platinum plate. The best working conditions of the polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film were determined. The glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilized by the entrapment method in polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film. Glucose determination was made based on the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, which is formed as a result of the enzymatic reaction on the surface of the prepared biosensor at +0.40 V. The working range for the glucose determination of the biosensor was determined. The effects of pH and temperature on the response of the glucose biosensor were investigated. The reusability and shelf life of the biosensor were determined. The effects of interference in biological environments on the response of the biosensor were investigated. Glucose determination was made in the biological fluid (blood) with the prepared biosensor. This study has a feature that sheds light on biosensor studies to be developed for the detection of substances in the human body, such as glucose, uric acid, and urea. This article will set an example for future scientific research on the development of a sensor for other biological fluids in the human body, such as the sensor developed for blood samples. In addition, this developed sensor provides an innovation that improves the quality of life of patients by allowing them to constantly monitor their glucose levels and intervene when necessary.

New spin coated multilayer lactate biosensor for acidosis monitoring in continuous flow assisted with an electrochemical pH probe.

A LOx-based electrochemical biosensor for high-level lactate determination was developed. For the construction of the biosensor, chitosan and Nafion layers were integrated by using a spin coating procedure, leading to less porous surfaces in comparison with those recorded after a drop casting procedure. The analytical performance of the resulting biosensor for lactate determination was evaluated in batch and flow regime, displaying satisfactory results in both modes ranging from 0.5 to 20 mM concentration range for assessing the lactic acidosis. Finally, the lactate levels in raw serum samples were estimated using the biosensor developed and verified with a blood gas analyzer. Based on these results, the biosensor developed is promising for its use in healthcare environment, after its proper miniaturization. A pH probe based on common polyaniline-based electrochemical sensor was also developed to assist the biosensor for the lactic acidosis monitoring, leading to excellent results in stock solutions ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 mM and raw plasma samples. The results were confirmed by using two different approaches, blood gas analyzer and pH-meter. Consequently, the lactic acidosis monitoring could be achieved in continuous flow regime using both (bio)sensors.

Current Mirror Improved Potentiostat (CMIPot) for a Three Electrode Electrochemical Cell.

This work presents a novel compact CMOS potentiostat-designed circuit for an electrochemical cell. The proposed topology functions as a circuit interface, controlling the polarization of voltage signals at the sensor electrodes and facilitating current measurement during the oxidation-reduction process of an analyzed solution. The potentiostat, designed for CMOS technology, comprises a two-stage amplifier, two current mirror blocks coupled to this amplifier, and a CMOS push-pull output stage. The electrochemical method of cyclic voltammetry is employed, operating within a voltage range of ±0.8 V and scan rates of 10 mV/s, 25 mV/s, 100 mV/s, and 250 mV/s. The circuit is capable of reading currents ranging from 10 µA to 500 µA. Experimental results were obtained using a potassium ferrocyanide K3[Fe(CN)6] redox solution with concentrations of 10, 15, and 20 mmol/L, and their corresponding voltammograms were evaluated. The experimental results from a discrete circuit demonstrate that the proposed potentiostat topology produces outcomes consistent with those of classical topologies presented in the literature and industrial equipment.

Disposable glutamate biosensor based on platinum nanoparticles, carbon quantum dots and poly-L-aspartic acid.

This study reports the design and development of a disposable amperometric biosensor for the determination of L-glutamate. Glutamate oxidase (GlOx) was immobilized onto a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) modified with poly-L-Aspartic acid (PAsp), carbon quantum dots (CQD), and platinum nanoparticles (PtNP) for the construction of the biosensor. The surface composition of the modified SPE was optimized using the one variable at a time method. The morphological properties of the biosensor were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Under the optimized experimental conditions the linear working range, detection limit and sensitivity of the GlOx/PtNP/CQD/PAsp/SPE were found to be 1.0 - 140 µM, 0.3 µM and 0.002 µA µM-1, respectively. The GlOx/PtNP/CQD/PAsp/SPE biosensor also exhibited good measurement repeatability. The as-developed biosensor was applied for the determination of L-glutamate in spiked serum samples and the average analytical recovery of added glutamate was 98.9 ± 3.9%.

Green Synthesis of a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Based on a Novel Thiophene-Derivative for Electrochemical Sensing.

An environmentally friendly and sustainable approach was adopted to produce a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) via electropolymerization, with remarkable electrochemical sensing properties, tested in tyrosine (tyr) detection. The 2,2'-bis(2,2'-bithiophene-5-yl)-3,3'-bithianaphtene (BT2-T4) was chosen as functional monomer and MIP electrosynthesis was carried out via cyclic voltammetry on low-volume (20 µL) screen-printed carbon electrodes (C-SPE) in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ((BMIM) TFSI). An easy and rapid washing treatment allowed us to obtain the resulting MIP film, directly used for tyr electrochemical detection, carried out amperometrically. The sensor showed a linear response in the concentration range of 15-200 µM, with LOD of 1.04 µM, LOQ of 3.17 µM and good performance in selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Tyrosine amperometric detection was also carried out in human plasma, resulting in a satisfactory recovery estimation. The work represents the first use of BT2-T4 as a functional monomer for the production of a molecularly imprinted polymer, with a green approach afforded by using a few microliters of a room temperature ionic liquid as an alternative to common organic solvents on screen-printed carbon electrodes, resulting in a valuable system that meets the green chemistry guidelines, which is today an essential criterion in both research and application field.

Layered Architectural Fabrication of a Novel Sulfite Nanobiosensor by Encapsulation of Sulfite Oxidase on a Polypyrrole-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Composite Decorated with Platinum Nanoparticles.

The fabrication of a highly selective and ultrasensitive sulfite nanobiosensor based on a layered architectural fabrication aided by the encapsulation of sulfite oxidase (SOx) in Nafion (Naf) matrix on a multiwalled carbon nanotubes-polypyrrole (MWCNTs-PPy) composite decorated with platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is described. The MWCNTs are deposited in the inner layer on a Pt electrode during electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py), followed by decoration with a PtNPs layer and subsequent encapsulation of SOx with Naf in the third layer capped with a fourth thin PtNPs layer. Images obtained by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) reveal that high-density PtNPs are deposited onto the 3D nanostructured inner MWCNTs-PPy layer and the electrochemical behavior is investigated. A large surface area provided by the incorporation of MWCNTs in the composite and decoration with PtNPs enables increased SOx loading, SOx retention, and substantial improvement in sensing performance. The resulting layered PtNPs/SOx-Naf/PtNPs/MWCNTs-PPy nanobiosensor exhibits a fast response time (within 3 s), a linear calibration range of 20 nmm - 6 m with an excellent sensitivity of 71 µA mm-1  cm-2 and a detection limit of 5.4 nm. The nanobiosensor  was effective in discriminating against common interferants and  was successfully applied to sulfite determination in real samples.

Combining amperometry and mass spectrometry as a dual detection approach for capillary electrophoresis.

Dual detection concepts (DDCs) are becoming more and more popular in analytical chemistry. In this work, we describe a novel DDC for capillary electrophoresis (CE) consisting of an amperometric detector (AD) and a mass spectrometer (MS). This detector combination has a good complementarity as the AD exhibits high sensitivity, whereas the MS provides excellent selectivity. Both detectors are based on a destructive detection principle, making a serial detector arrangement impossible. Thus, for the realization of the DDC, the CE flow was divided into two parts with a flow splitter. The DDC was characterized in a proof-of-concept study with ferrocene derivates and a nonaqueous background electrolyte. We could show that splitting the CE flow was a suitable method for the instrumental realization of the DDC consisting of two destructive detectors. By lowering the height of the AD compared to the MS, it was possible to synchronize the detector responses. Additionally, for the chosen model system, we confirmed that the AD was much more reproducible and had lower limits of detection (LODs) than the MS. The LODs were identical for the DDC and the single-detection arrangements, indicating no sensitivity decrease due to the CE flow splitting. The DDC was successfully applied to determine the drug and doping agent trimetazidine.

Cobalt-based metal-organic framework-functionalized graphene oxide modified electrode as a new electrochemical sensing platform for detection of free chlorine in aqueous solution.

This work reports the profit of using a MOF compound for developing a sensitive electrochemical sensor to free chlorine detection in an aqueous solution. Co-MOF and FGO composites were synthesized and combined with the carbon paste (CP) to prepare an efficient electrochemical sensor with high sensing ability. The fabricated Co-MOF and FGO composites were characterized by SEM, EDX, FT-IR, and XRD techniques. Meanwhile, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were utilized to assess the electrochemical performance of the Co-MOF-FGO/CP modified electrode. Under the optimized condition, the amperometric detection showed that the reduction current of free chlorine increased linearly with a coefficient determination of 0.995 during its wide concentration range of 0.1-700 ppm. Also the detection limit (LOD) (S/N = 3) was 0.01 ppm. The selectivity of the sensor was tested with possible interferences, and satisfactory results were obtained. The proposed sensor was successfully used to determine the free chlorine in tap water and swimming pool water real samples. The results suggested that this proposed sensor could pave the way for developing the electrochemical sensor of free chlorine in aqueous media with MOFs.

Accelerating the development of implantable neurochemical biosensors by using existing clinically applied depth electrodes.

In this study, an implantable stereo-electroencephalography (sEEG) depth electrode was functionalised with an enzyme coating for enzyme-based biosensing of glucose and L-glutamate. This was done because personalised medicine could benefit from active real-time neurochemical monitoring on small spatial and temporal scales to further understand and treat neurological disorders. To achieve this, the sEEG depth electrode was characterised using cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using several electrochemical redox mediators (potassium ferri/ferrocyanide, ruthenium hexamine chloride, and dopamine). To improve performance, the Pt sensors on the sEEG depth electrode were coated with platinum black and a crosslinked gelatin-enzyme film to enable enzymatic biosensing. This characterisation work showed that producing a useable electrode with a good electrochemical response showing the expected behaviour for a platinum electrode was possible. Coating with Pt black improved the sensitivity to H2O2 over unmodified electrodes and approached that of well-defined Pt macro disc electrodes. Measured current showed good dependence on concentration, and the calibration curves report good sensitivity of 29.65 nA/cm2/µM for glucose and 8.05 nA/cm2/µM for L-glutamate with a stable, repeatable, and linear response. These findings demonstrate that existing clinical electrode devices can be adapted for combined electrochemical and electrophysiological measurement in patients and obviate the need to develop new electrodes when existing clinically approved devices and the associated knowledge can be reused. This accelerates the time to use and application of in vivo and wearable biosensing for diagnosis, treatment, and personalised medicine.

Electrochemical detection of uric acid in human serum based on ultrasmall Ta2O5 nanoparticle anchored Pt atom with ultrahigh uricase and catalase activities.

The synthesis of ultrasmall Ta2O5 nanoparticle anchored Pt atom using aspartic acid-functionalized graphene quantum dot (Asp-GQD) is reported. The Asp-GQD was combined with tantalic acid and chloroplatinic acid to rapidly form water-soluble Ta-Asp-GQD and Pt-Asp-GQD complex. Followed by thermal annealing at 900 °C in N2 to obtain Ta2O5-Asp-GQD-Pt. The study shows that the introduction of Asp-GQD as a chelating agent and p-type semiconductor achieves to the formation of ultrasmall Ta2O5 nanoparticle, PN junction at the interface and Pt single atom anchored on the surface of Ta2O5 nanocrystals. The unique structure realizes ultrahigh uricase activity and catalase activities of Ta2O5-Asp-GQD-Pt. The Ta2O5-Asp-GQD-Pt was used as the bifunctional sensing material for the construction of an electrochemical uric acid sensor. The differential pulse voltammetric current at 0.45 V linearly increases with the increase of uric acid concentration in the range 0.001-5.00 mM with the detection limit of 0.41 µM (S/N = 3). The sensor exhibits a much better sensitivity compared with the reported methods for the detection of uric acid. The proposed analytical method has been applied to the electrochemical detection of uric acid in human serum with a spiked recovery of 95-105%. The study also offers one way to design and synthesize multifunctional sensing materials with high catalytic activity.

Ammonium nanochelators in conjunction with arginine-specific enzymes in amperometric biosensors for arginine assay.

Amino acid L-arginine (Arg), usually presented in food products and biological liquids, can serve both as a useful indicator of food quality and an important biomarker in medicine. The biosensors based on Arg-selective enzymes are the most promising devices for Arg assay. In this research, three types of amperometric biosensors have been fabricated. They exploit arginine oxidase (ArgO), recombinant arginase I (ARG)/urease, and arginine deiminase (ADI) coupled with the ammonium-chelating redox-active nanoparticles. Cadmium-copper nanoparticles (nCdCu) as the most effective nanochelators were used for the development of ammonium chemosensors and enzyme-coupled Arg biosensors. The fabricated enzyme/nCdCu-containing bioelectrodes show wide linear ranges (up to 200 µM), satisfactory storage stabilities (14 days), and high sensitivities (A⋅M-1⋅m-2) to Arg: 1650, 1700, and 4500 for ADI-, ArgO- and ARG/urease-based sensors, respectively. All biosensors have been exploited to estimate Arg content in commercial juices. The obtained data correlate well with the values obtained by the reference method. A hypothetic scheme for mechanism of action of ammonium nanochelators in electron transfer reaction on the arginine-sensing electrodes has been proposed.

The Role of Silver Nanoparticles in Electrochemical Sensors for Aquatic Environmental Analysis.

With rapidly increasing environmental pollution, there is an urgent need for the development of fast, low-cost, and effective sensing devices for the detection of various organic and inorganic substances. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their superior optoelectronic and physicochemical properties, and have, therefore, attracted a great deal of interest in the sensor arena. The introduction of AgNPs onto the surface of two-dimensional (2D) structures, incorporation into conductive polymers, or within three-dimensional (3D) nanohybrid architectures is a common strategy to fabricate novel platforms with improved chemical and physical properties for analyte sensing. In the first section of this review, the main wet chemical reduction approaches for the successful synthesis of functional AgNPs for electrochemical sensing applications are discussed. Then, a brief section on the sensing principles of voltammetric and amperometric sensors is given. The current utilization of silver nanoparticles and silver-based composite nanomaterials for the fabrication of voltammetric and amperometric sensors as novel platforms for the detection of environmental pollutants in water matrices is summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the nanosilver-based electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants are outlined.

Electrodeposited Carbonyl Functional Polymers as Suitable Supports for Preparation of the First-Generation Biosensors.

The aim of this electrochemical study was to ascertain which type of electrochemically deposited carbonyl functionalized polymer represents the most suitable electrode substrate for direct covalent immobilization of biological catalysts (enzymes). For this purpose, a triad of amperometric biosensors differing in the type of conductive polymers (poly-vanillin, poly-trans-cinnamaldehyde, and poly-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) and in the functioning of selected enzymes (tyrosinase and alkaline phosphatase) has been compared for the biosensing of neurotransmitters (dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) and phenyl phosphates (p-aminophenyl phosphate and hydroquinone diphosphate). The individual layers of the polymers were electrochemically deposited onto commercially available screen-printed carbon electrodes (type C110) using repetitive potential cycling in the linear voltammetric mode. Their characterization was subsequently performed by SEM imaging and attenuated total reflectance FTIR spectroscopy. Molecules of enzymes were covalently bonded to the free carbonyl groups in polymers via the Schiff base formation, in some cases even with the use of special cross-linkers. The as-prepared biosensors have been examined using cyclic voltammetry and amperometric detection. In this way, the role of the carbonyl groups embedded in the polymeric structure was defined with respect to the efficiency of binding enzymes, and consequently, via the final (electro)analytical performance.

Design of Pyrrole-Based Gate-Controlled Molecular Junctions Optimized for Single-Molecule Aflatoxin B1 Detection.

Food contamination by aflatoxins is an urgent global issue due to its high level of toxicity and the difficulties in limiting the diffusion. Unfortunately, current detection techniques, which mainly use biosensing, prevent the pervasive monitoring of aflatoxins throughout the agri-food chain. In this work, we investigate, through ab initio atomistic calculations, a pyrrole-based Molecular Field Effect Transistor (MolFET) as a single-molecule sensor for the amperometric detection of aflatoxins. In particular, we theoretically explain the gate-tuned current modulation from a chemical-physical perspective, and we support our insights through simulations. In addition, this work demonstrates that, for the case under consideration, the use of a suitable gate voltage permits a considerable enhancement in the sensor performance. The gating effect raises the current modulation due to aflatoxin from 100% to more than 103÷104%. In particular, the current is diminished by two orders of magnitude from the µA range to the nA range due to the presence of aflatoxin B1. Our work motivates future research efforts in miniaturized FET electrical detection for future pervasive electrical measurement of aflatoxins.

Smartphone-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for On-Site Nutritional Quality Assessment of Coffee Blends.

This work aimed to develop an easy-to-use smartphone-based electrochemical biosensor to quickly assess a coffee blend's total polyphenols (Phs) content at the industrial and individual levels. The device is based on a commercial carbon-based screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). At the same time, the biological recognition element, Laccase from Trametes versicolor, TvLac, was immobilized on the sensor surface by using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent. The platform was electrochemically characterized to ascertain the influence of the SPE surface modification on its performance. The working electrode (WE) surface morphology characterization was obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging. All the measurements were carried out with a micro-potentiostat, the Sensit Smart by PalmSens, connected to a smartphone. The developed biosensor provided a sensitivity of 0.12 µA/µM, a linear response ranging from 5 to 70 µM, and a lower detection limit (LOD) of 2.99 µM. Afterward, the biosensor was tested for quantifying the total Phs content in coffee blends, evaluating the influence of both the variety and the roasting degree. The smartphone-based electrochemical biosensor's performance was validated through the Folin-Ciocâlteu standard method.

Novel Amperometric Mercury-Selective Sensor Based on Organic Chelator Ionophore.

A novel amperometric sensor for the direct determination of toxic mercury ions, Hg2+, based on the organic chelator ionophore N, N di (2-hydroxy-5-[(4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]benzaldehyde) benzene-1,2-diamine (NDBD), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode surface was developed. The parameters influencing sensor performance including the ionophore concentration, the applied potential, and electrolyte pH were optimized. The sensor response to Hg2+ was linear between 1-25 µM with a limit of detection of 60 nM. Interferences from other heavy metal ions were evaluated and the sensor showed excellent selectivity towards Hg2+. The method was successfully applied to the determination of mercury ions in milk and water samples.

Sensing of chemical oxygen demand (COD) by amperometric detection-dependence of current signal on concentration and type of organic species.

The standard method to determine chemical oxygen demand (COD) with K2Cr2O6 uses harmful chemicals, has a long analysis time, and cannot be used for on-site online monitoring. It is therefore necessary to find a fast, cheap, and harmless alternative. The amperometric determination of COD on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes is a promising approach. However, to be a suitable alternative, the electrochemical method must at least be able to determine the COD of water samples independently of the contained substances. Therefore, the current signal as a function of various organic materials was investigated for the first time. It was shown that the height of the signal current depended on the type of organic matter in single-substance solutions and that this substance dependency increases with the amount of COD. Those findings could be explained by the mechanism proposed for this reaction, showing that the selectivity of the reaction depends on the ratio of the concentration of hydroxyl radicals and organic species. We give an outlook on how to improve the method in order to increase the linear working range and avoid signal variance and how to further explain the signal variance.

Amperometric microbial biosensor for sugars and sweetener classification using principal component analysis in beverages.

Sugar and artificial sweeteners are additives in packaged food and beverage products that are widely used, where excessive sugar consumption can cause an increase in various diseases. Detection and classification of natural sugars sucrose, fructose, glucose, and artificial sweetener aspartame are needed to determine the effects of consuming these sweeteners. This study uses an amperometric biosensor integrated biochip-D, which uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a bioreceptor through cellular metabolic respiration activity expressed in dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. The variations of sweetener concentration used were in the range of 50 mM to 250 mM. The measurement results showed that the higher the concentration of sugar and artificial sweeteners, the lower DO levels would be measured. It was due to the yeast cell respiration in consuming oxygen (O2) and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), where the decrease in DO levels of sucrose was 14.24%, fructose was 18.02%, glucose was 16.59%, and aspartame was 20.45% at a concentration of 250 mM. The measurement data was clustered and classified using principal component analysis (PCA), which resulted in data variance percentages of 92.80% and 89.40% for the two main components. In the application studies of the biosensor, sensitive determination of sugar in the beverage samples was investigated.
