  Nanoparticles (NPs) of commercial lactate dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle were prepared, characterized and immobilized covalently onto pencil graphite (PG) electrode to fabricate an improved amperometric lactate biosensor (LDHNPs/PGE). The biosensor showed an optimum response within 2.5s at pH 7.0, temperature 35°C, at an applied potential of -0.4V. The wide linear response was produced by biosensor with in a concentration range of lactic acid (0.001 μM to 45 mM) and current (mA) under optimal conditions. The LDHNPs/PGE electrode showed high sensitivity (2.45 ± 2.0 μA cm−2 μM−1); a lower detection limit (0.001 μM) and good correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.99) with a standard enzymic colorimetric method. The evaluation study of biosensor offered a good analytical recovery of 98.01%, when lactic acid concentration was added in the sera sample. In addit.. View More»
