An electrochemical biosensor for fructosyl valine for glycosylated hemoglobin detection based on core-shell magnetic bionanoparticles modified gold electrode.

A high-performance amperometric fructosyl valine (FV) biosensor was developed, based on immobilization of fructosyl amino-acid oxidase (FAO) on core-shell magnetic bionanoparticles modified gold electrode. Chitosan was used to introduce amino groups onto the surface of core-shell magnetic bionanoparticles (MNPs). With FAO as an enzyme model, a new fructosyl valine biosensor was fabricated. The biosensor showed optimum response, when operated at 50 mVs(-1) in 0.1M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5 and 35°C. The biosensor exhibited excellent sensitivity [the detection limit is down to 0.1mM for FV], fast response time (less than 4s), wide linear range (from 0 to 2mM). Analytical recovery of added FV was 95.00-98.50%. Within batch and between batch coefficients of variation were <2.58% and <5.63%, respectively. The enzyme electrode was used 250 times over 3 months, when stored at 4°C.
