Abstract

In this work, the use of neodymium electrodes as a basis for the immobilization of magnetite nanoparticles has been carried out. The sensitivity and detection limit to H2O2 are 2.4 × 104 μA M−1 and 1.8 × 10−5 M, respectively. The amount of peroxide in a contact lens liquid was also determined; there was a discrepancy between the manufacturer reported and the experimental measured values less than 2% of error. For the use of a biosensor in glucose detection, the sensitivity and detection limit are 938 μA M−1 and 9 mM, respectively. In both cases, the most notable is the increase in reuse of the electrode of up to 10 times without loss of sensitivity and its excellent performance after 1-month aging.
