A new non-enzymatic biosensor for the determination of bisphenol-A

[Display omitted] In this study, a new non-enzymatic carbon paste biosensor was developed for the determination of Bisphenol-A (BPA) based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) modified Myoglobin (Mb). The measurement principle of the biosensor was developed based on the inhibition effect of BPA on the heme group of myoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. With the designed biosensor, measurements were taken in the potential range of (−0.15 V & +0.65 V) using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method in the medium containing K4[Fe(CN)6]. The linear range for BPA was determined to be 100–1000 µM. Response time was calculated as 16 s. The limit of detection was set at 89 μM. As a result, it has been proven that MWCNT modified myoglobin based biosensor is an alternative method that can be used for BPA determination, giving very sensitive and fast results.
