Disposable Stochastic Sensors Based on Nanolayer Deposition(s) of Silver and AgC Composite on Plastic for the Assay of α-amylase in Whole Blood and Saliva

Nanolayer deposition(s) of Ag and AgC composite on a plastic substrate was used to design disposable stochastic sensors. Three shapes of nanocoatings were tested. The first shape was obtained by deposition of a nanofilm of Ag on the plastic material; the second shape was obtained by deposition of a...

description Nanolayer deposition(s) of Ag and AgC composite on a plastic substrate was used to design disposable stochastic sensors. Three shapes of nanocoatings were tested. The first shape was obtained by deposition of a nanofilm of Ag on the plastic material; the second shape was obtained by deposition of a composite AgC nanolayer on the plastic material; the third shape was obtained by nanolayer deposition of a composite material of AgC on the top of the Ag nanofilm deposited on the plastic material. α-Cyclodextrin was used to modify the active surface of the sensor. Wide linear concentration ranges were obtained as follows: for de-assay of α-amylase in whole blood: 1.00 × 10<sup>−7</sup>–1.00 × 10<sup>3</sup> U mL<sup>−1</sup> and for the assay of α-amylase in saliva: 1.5 × 10<sup>−15</sup>–1.5 × 10<sup>2</sup> U mL<sup>−1</sup>. α-Amylase was reliably determined from whole blood and saliva samples using the proposed disposable stochastic sensors.
