RT journal article T1 Development of Sonogel-Carbon Based Biosensors Using Sinusoidal Voltages and Currents Methods A1 García Guzmán, Juan José A1 Cubillana Aguilera, Laura A1 Bellido Milla, Dolores A1 Naranjo Rodríguez, Ignacio A1 Lete, Cecilia A1 Palacios Santander, José María A1 Lupu, Stelian A2 Química Analítica K1 Sinusoidal voltage and current methods K1 Electrodeposition K1 Biosensor K1 Sonogel-Carbon electrodes K1 Dopamine K1 Hydroquinone AB In this work, biosensors based on Sonogel-Carbon electrodes modified with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) – tyrosinase biocomposite materials have been developed using sinusoidal voltages and currents methods The sinusoidal voltages method uses a sinusoidal voltage signal of a 50 mHz fixed frequency and high amplitude superimposed on a direct current potential to modify the Sonogel-Carbon electrodes surface with the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) – tyrosinase layer. A new preparation method involving the application of a sinusoidal current signal with fixed frequency and amplitude over a direct current has been developed as well. The experimental parameters of these methods have been optimized and selected in such a way to highlight the contribution of the sinusoidal component in the biosensors preparation. The advantages of the new preparation methods in terms of electrocatalytic and analytical efficiencies are presented. The analytical performances of the proposed biosensors towards benchmark analytes like dopamine, hydroquinone, and catechol have been investigated. The lowest limit of detection value of 7.10 μM and a high sensitivity value of 0.0037 μA/μM for dopamine determination were obtained with a biosensor prepared via the new sinusoidal currents method. The biosensors were successfully applied in the quantification of dopamine in pharmaceutical products.
