RESUMO
This paper presents the efforts to the construction and characterization of electrochemical transducers on polyester and paper, and also demonstrates the use of these disposable electrochemical cells in the development of a biosensor for rapid analysis of salicylate in blood as well as the creation of a separation device associated electrochemical detection on paper. Each electrochemical cell consists of a set of three electrodes made of gold thin films on polyester or chromatographic paper using sputtering and electron-beam techniques, respectively. The electrochemical characterization of the systems with redox probes as potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) and ferrocene monocarboxylic acid was performed in the electrolyte solution in order to evaluate the electroactivity of them. It was verified that even with higher electroactive area, the electrodes of thin films built on paper have a lower current density for the redox probes in comparison with the electrochemical cell constructed on polyester. This is due to retention of electroactive species in the cellulose fiber, a fact that reduces the availability of those species on the transducer surface. We developed an amperometric biosensor for the determination of salicylate in blood. The biosensor is based on the use of the salicylate hydroxylase enzyme immobilized on plastic electrochemical cell. The determined optimized experimental conditions are: an electrolyte solution of phosphate buffer at pH 7.6 with 0.5 mmol L of NADH and 300 mV vs. Au as the applied potential during the measurements. The biosensor showed adequate sensitivity (97.4 nA / mmol L salicylate) and linear response range for the analyte (1.25 10 to 1.0 10 mol L). The performance of the biosensor was found in the determination of salicylate in blood samples spiked with the analyte and the results were statistically equivalent to those obtained with the Trinder¿s spectrophotometric method, with a 95% confidence level. Prototypes of microfluidic paper-based separation devices with amperometric detection were developed and evaluated. The chromatographic separation on paper associated with electrochemical detection was developed using the plastic electrochemical cell and the gold electrochemical cell on paper. The performance of both devices was evaluated for separation and quantification of uric acid and ascorbic acid presented in the mixtures. The method is an alternative for the determination of electroactive compounds when low cost and simplicity are essential
