  • Title: Flow injection analysis of blood L-lactate by using a Prussian Blue-based biosensor as amperometric detector.
    Author: Lowinsohn D, Bertotti M.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 2007 Jun 15; 365(2):260-5. PubMed ID: 17449005.
    Abstract:
    An amperometric l-lactate biosensor was fabricated by confining lactate oxidase in a Prussian Blue-modified electrode with a Nafion membrane. The detector was assembled in a flow injection apparatus and operated at -0.1 V. Conditions for optimal electrode response were determined by investigating the influence of the amount of immobilized enzyme, the sample volume, and the flow rate. At the established operational conditions, the biosensor exhibited negligible response from interfering species usually present in biological fluids. The stability of the biosensor was also investigated, and its sensitivity was maintained unchanged at certain experimental conditions. l-Lactate was determined in blood samples, and the influence of physical exercise on the results was clearly evidenced, demonstrating that the proposed amperometric detector is suitable for monitoring changes in the l-lactate levels in biological fluids.
