Comparison of dopamine detection at CNTYMEs before/after in tissue foulingα
| Initial Ip,a/nA | Ip,a after Fouling/nA | Ip,a Ratio(Post/Pre Fouling)/% | ΔEp after Fouling/V | Background Current Ratio(Post/Pre Fouling)/% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unmodified CNTYME (n=6) | 5.3 ± 0.5 | 0.95 ± 0.05 | 18 ± 3 | 0.923 ± 0.003 | 103 ± 4 |
| O2 Plasma Etched CNTYME (n=6) | 15 ± 2 | 4.5 ± 0.2**** | 30 ± 3* | 0.86 ± 0.01** | 99 ± 3 |
| Anti-static gun treated CNTYME (n=6) | 21 ± 3 | 5.3 ± 0.4**** | 25 ± 3 | 0.860 ± 0.006**** | 96 ± 5 |
Oxidation current before and after 2H fouling, the Ip,a post/pre-fouling ratio, ΔEp value after fouling, and background current post/pre-fouling ratio. Significantly different than unmodified:
paired t-test, p ≤ 0.05,
paired t-test, p ≤ 0.01,
paired t-test, p ≤ 0.0001.
