文摘

The article describes the preparation of chitosan-coated hemoglobin (Hb-CS) microcapsules by (a) preparing a CaCO₃ precipitate containing Hb, (b) crosslinking Hb with glutaraldehye, (c) coating the particles with chitosan, and (d) preparing Hb-CS microcapsules by removing the CaCO₃ template with a solution of disodium EDTA. The morphology and electrochemical properties of the Hb-CS microcapsules were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. An oxygen sensor was obtained by immobilizing the Hb-CS microcapsules on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) first modified with gold nanoparticles. The application of Hb-CS microcapsules facilitates electron transfer on the surface of GCE and warrants the integrity and biological activity of Hb. The oxygen sensor, operated best at a working voltage of −0.335  V (vs. SCE), displays a low limit of detection (30 nM). The Hb-CS microcapsules also are shown to release loaded oxygen to an anaerobic aqueous environment within 300 min.
