Abstract: A reagentless amperometric sensor highly sensitive to H2O2 has been prepared by incorporating fumed silica, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and Meldola Blue into carbon paste. The efficient mediating ability to shift electrons between HRP and the carbon paste electrode via Meldola Blue was investigated by cyclic voltammetric and amperometric measurements. Reproducibility, response time, detection limit, selectivity and effects of applied potential, temperature and pH on the response of the sensor are reported. The high sensitivity of the sensor with a detection limit of 0.1 µmol/1 arose from the high efficiency of the bioelectrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide via HRP and Meldola Blue. The dependence of the Michaelis-Menten constant on the applied potential and the mediator concentration has been investigated and the results are presented.
