A mediator immobilized dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) sensor using DMSO reductase (DMSO-R) was constructed. Methyl viologen (MV) was used as a mediator and immobilized on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode with Nafion polymer. DMSO-R from Rhodobacter sphaeroides f. sp. denitrificans was retained by a dialysis film on the modified GC electrode. The amperometric signal in response to DMSO was observed. The linear range of the calibration curve for DMSO was between 0 and 600 microM. The response time was within 100 s and the relative standard deviation was 4% at 200 microM DMSO (n = 4). To eliminate the background noise derived from oxygen in samples, the glucose oxidase-catalase retained DMSO sensor was also examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
