The main aim of this study was to test the biopolymer polycaprolactone (PCL) as an electrode modifier for the electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA). PCL was chosen following a search for polymers with the appropriate geometry and functional groups for dopamine detection. The chemical structure and the average molecular weight of the...

A simple procedure to incorporate enzymes (horseradish peroxidase, HRP, and lactate oxidase, LOx) within alginate hydrogels is reported with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) used to detect the enzymatic reactions with the corresponding substrates. First, HRP and LOx were successfully immobilized into CaCO3 microspheres, followed by the...
