Evaluation of Histamine Imprinted Polypyrrole Deposited on Boron Doped Nanocrystalline Diamond

Abstract

This study describes the evaluation of histamine imprinted polypyrrole deposited on boron doped nanocrystalline diamond (NCD). Boron doped oxygen terminated NCD (B : NCD) was used as a conducting substrate for the design of here reported electrochemical sensor. Some peculiarities of B : NCD were evaluated and oxidation kinetics of both NCD and B : NCD was investigated. Both the NCD and B : NCD were modified by molecularly imprinted polypyrrole and not-imprinted polypyrrole. Histamine was used as a template for molecular imprinting of polypyrrole. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was applied for the evaluation of formed MIP and NIP layers.
