The portable 3D printed miniaturized bipolar electrode-electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) platform presented in this study offers a smartphone-enabled read-out method for ECL signal analysis. With GMC/MWCNT nanomaterial-modified pencil graphite electrodes, the platform shows great electrocatalytic activity and can be used for multiple point-of-care biochemical analysis with excellent reliability and accuracy.
Herein, a portable 3-D printed miniaturized bipolar electrode-electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) platform is presented. The platform has a smartphone-enabled read-out method for ECL signal analysis, a 9-V Hi-watt battery for power supply, and graphitized mesoporous carbon/multiwalled carbon nanotube (GMC/MWCNT) nanomaterial-modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) as bipolar and driving electrodes. The nanomaterial-modified pencil graphite bipolar electrode (PG-BPE) showed great electrocatalytic activity toward luminol-H2O2 and luminol-O-2 ECL reactions in neutral medium. The sensitized luminol-O-2 and luminol-H2O2 reactions were successfully applied for sensing of H2O2, O-2, and CO2. With optimized parameters, the determination of H2O2, O-2 and CO2 can be in the linear range of 0.08-5000 mu M, 0.3-9 mg/L, and 0.6-9 mg/L with the detection limit of 0.069 mu M, 0.15 mg/L, and 0.45 mg/L. As a prototype application, quantitative detection of glucose has been carried out with a modified PGE anchored with GOx (GMC/MWCNT at GOx). The prepared electrode was analyzed for physicochemical and microscopic characterizations. The modified PGE showed an excellent ability to detect the glucose in a linear range of 1 mu M-10 mM with a detection limit of 0.31 mu M. Finally, the platform was subjected to real sample analysis of H2O2 in clinical H2O2, cosmetic bleach, O-2, and CO2 in lake water and tap water and glucose in human blood serum samples. The results indicated that the proposed platform offered excellent reliability, accuracy, and amenable to be used for multiple point-of-care biochemical analysis.
