Abstract
A preliminary assessment of properties of the commercial product Chemiplus 2DS HB (BI-QEM Specialties SpA) is proposed. Cyclic voltammetry of this oligomer containing sulfate/sulfone groups shows a single oxidative peak at +0.866 V vs. Ag/AgCl, and its passivating process on Pt electrode suggests the formation of a non-conductive layer. Electrode modification was achieved by exploiting the constant potential amperometry setting potential at +0.900 V vs. Ag/AgCl. A substantial change in the oxidative currents from electroactive species H2O2 and ascorbic acid (AA) were observed on Pt/Chemiplus 2DS HB sensors compared to unmodified Pt. Furthermore, the influence of different storage conditions on modified sensors was examined. A storage solution containing AA concentration from 0.1 until 10 mM maintained effective AA rejection of Pt/Chemiplus 2DS HB after 7 days from construction; H2O2 oxidation capability was also retained. Sulfone and sulfonate groups of Chemiplus 2DS HB are likely responsible for the dimensionality of the film and the electrostatic interaction leading to a self-blocking/self-rejection of AA. The way Pt/Chemiplus can reveal the AA presence depends on the maintaining of AA rejection, and this peculiarity can distinguish it from other sensors or biosensors.
