A novel hydrogen peroxide biosensor has been constructed based on the characteristics of the carbon nanotube. The multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) was used as a coimmobilization matrix to incorporate horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and electron transfer mediator methylene blue (MB) onto a glassy carbon electrode surface. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometric measurements were employed to demonstrate the feasibility of methylene blue as an electron carrier between the immobilized peroxidase and the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The amperometric response of this resulting biosensor to H2O2 shows a linear relation in the range from 4 muM to 2 mM. The detection limit was 1 muM when the signal to noise ratio is 3. The presence of dopamine and ascorbic acid hardly affects the sensitive determination of H2O2. This biosensor also possesses very good stability and reproducibility.
