RESUMO

Results on the investigation of the electrochemical behavior of lactate and hydrogen peroxide at various electrodic surfaces at different pHs using cyclic voltammetry are presented. Experiments were also carried out with platinum and glassy carbon electrodes modified with hexacyanoferrate films. The advantage of using CTAB in the electrodeposition step of Prussian Blue films onto glassy carbon surfaces was confirmed taking into account both the stability and sensitivity of measurements. The immobilization of lactate oxidase onto glassy carbon electrodes modified with a Prussian Blue layer using Nafion® was performed to fabricate a biosensor for lactate. The biosensor was used in the development of a FIA amperometric method for the determination of lactate. Under optimal operating conditions (pH = 6.9, E = -0.1 V), the linear response of the method was extended up to 0.28 mmol L-1 lactate with a limit of detection of 0.84 µmol L-1. The repeatability of the method for injections of a 0.28 mmol L-1 lactate solution was 2.2 % (n = 18). The analytical frequency was calculated as 160 injections h-1. The usefulness of the method was demonstrated by determining lactate in beer (alcoholic and nonalcoholic beers) and blood samples (lyophilized and freshly collected). Finally, the influence of physical exercise on the blood lactate level was studied. Results obtained by using the proposed amperometric detector compared well with the reference method.
