Abstract
In this paper, microdialysis sampling was combined with an enzymatic assay of glucose level in rat brain. A novel amperometric glucose biosensor based on ferrocene-doped silica (FcDS) nanoparticles conjugated with a biopolymer chitosan (CHIT) membrane was developed. These uniform FcDS nanoparticles (about 15±3 nm) were prepared by a water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion method and were characterized by TEM and electrochemical technology. The nanosilica surface exhibited high biocompatability and the ferrocene doped inside maintained its high electron-transfer efficiency as a mediator. The glucose biosensor showed a detection limit of 2.0×10-6 molL -1 with a linear range from 5.0×10-6 to 1.2×10-2 molL-1. Coupled to microdialysis, it was used to determine the glucose concentration in rat brain. The result was in satisfactory agreement with the literature.
