Abstract
This study introduces an innovative electrochemical sensor designed to detect glutamate using a nonenzymatic approach. The sensor utilizes a porous network metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF)-NiO-Ni-Carbon nanocomposite (PNM-NiO-Ni-Carbon) as an electrode modifier, which was synthesized and assessed for its effectiveness. Cyclic voltammetry measurements demonstrated that the PNM-NiO-Ni-Carbon nanocomposite, synthesized at 450 °C, displayed remarkable electrocatalytic activity for glutamate oxidation. The linear range for detection spanned from 5 to 960 μmol/L, and the sensor achieved a low detection limit of 320 nmol/L (S/N = 3), which was comparable to previously reported data. Moreover, the sensor exhibited high accuracy and favorable recovery rates when tested with real samples, thus, demonstrating its potential for rapid glutamate detection. The real samples were analyzed using both electrochemical and high-performance liquid chromatography methods, and the results obtained from the two methods did not differ significantly, validating the sensor's excellent practical performance. Based on our findings, the PNM-NiO-Ni-Carbon system exhibits potential for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and selective choline microbiosensors were constructed by microcontact printing (μCP) of choline oxidase (ChOx) in a crosslinked, polyamine-functionalized zwitterionic polymer matrix on microelectrode arrays (MEAs). μCP has emerged as a potential means to create implantable, multiplexed sensor microprobes, which requires the targeted deposition of different sensor materials to specific microelectrode sites on a MEA. However, the less than sufficient enzyme loading and inadequate spatial resolution achieved with current μCP approaches has limited adoption of the method for electroenzymatic microsensors. A novel polymer, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)-g-poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PMPC-g-PAH), has been developed to address this challenge. PMPC-g-PAH contributes to a higher viscosity "ink" that enables thicker immobilized ChOx deposits of high spatial resolution while also providing a hydrophilic, biocompatible microenvironment for the enzyme. Electroenzymatic choline microbiosensors with sensitivity of 639 ± 96 nA μM-1 cm-2 (pH 7.4; n = 4) were constructed that also are selective against both ascorbic acid and dopamine, which are potential electroactive interfering compounds in the mammalian brain. The high sensitivities achieved can lead to smaller MEA microprobes that minimize tissue damage and make possible the monitoring of multiple neurochemicals simultaneously in vivo with high spatial resolution.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective glutamate biosensor using glutamate Oxidase (GlUtOx) immobilized platinum nanoparticle (PtNP) decorated multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs)/polypyrrole (PPy) composite on glassy carbon electrodes (GC) is demonstrated. PtNP decorated MWCNTs (Pt-MWCNTs), PPy and Pt-MWCNTs/PPy composite were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis to confirm the formation of the nanocomposite. The glutamate Oxidase (GlUtOx) was immobilized on a GC/Pt-MWCNTs/PPy and characterized by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. The fabricated L-glutamate biosensor exhibited high sensitivity (723.08 µA cm-2 mM-1) with less response time (3 s) with a detection limit of 0.88 µM. The dynamic range from 10 to 100 µM with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.985 was observed for the L-glutamate biosensor. The analytical recovery of added L-glutamate acid (50 and 100 μM) in human serum soup were 96.1% and 97.5% respectively. The enzyme immobilized GC/Pt-MWCNTs/PPy/GlUtOx bioelectrode lost 12.6% and 23.8% of its initial activity after 30 days when stored at - 20 °C and 4 °C respectively.

Abstract
L- Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and hyperglutamatergic signaling is implicated in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Monitoring glutamate with a glutamate oxidase-based amperometric biosensor offers advantages such as high spatial and high temporal resolution. However, commercially-available glutamate biosensors are expensive and larger in size. Here, we report the development of 50 µm diameter biosensor for real-time monitoring of L-glutamate in vivo. A polymer, poly-o-phenylenediamine (PPD) layer was electropolymerized onto a 50 µm Pt wire to act as a permselective membrane. Then, glutamate oxidase entrapped in a biocompatible chitosan matrix was cast onto the microelectrode surface. Finally, ascorbate oxidase was coated to eliminate interferences from high levels of extracellular ascorbic acid present in brain tissue. L-glutamate measurements were performed amperometrically at an applied potential of 0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl. The biosensor exhibited a linear range from 5 to 150 μM, with a high sensitivity of 0.097 ± 0.001 nA/μM and one-week storage stability. The biosensor also showed a rapid steady state response to L-glutamate within 2 s, with a limit of detection of 0.044 μM. The biosensor was used successfully to detect stimulated glutamate in the subthalamic nucleus in brain slices and in vivo. Thus, this biosensor is appropriate for future neuroscience applications.

Abstract
High performance microprobes for combined sensing of glucose and choline were fabricated using microcontact printing (μCP) to transfer choline oxidase (ChOx) and glucose oxidase (GOx) onto targeted sites on microelectrode arrays (MEAs). Most electroenzymatic sensing sites on MEAs for neuroscience applications are created by manual enzyme deposition, which becomes problematic when the array feature size is less than or equal to ∼100 μm. The μCP process used here relies on use of soft lithography to create features on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microstamp that correspond to the dimensions and array locations of targeted, microscale sites on a MEA. Precise alignment of the stamp with the MEA is also required to transfer enzyme only onto the specified microelectrode(s). The dual sensor fabrication process began with polyphenylenediamine (PPD) electrodeposition on all Pt microelectrodes to block common interferents (e.g., ascorbic acid and dopamine) found in brain extracellular fluid. Next, a chitosan film was electrodeposited to serve as an adhesive layer. The two enzymes, ChOx and GOx, were transferred onto different microelectrodes of 2 × 2 arrays using two different PDMS stamps and a microscope for stamp alignment. Using constant potential amperometry, the combined sensing microprobe was confirmed to have high sensitivity for choline and glucose (286 and 117 μA mM cm-2, respectively) accompanied by low detection limits (1 and 3 μM, respectively) and rapid response times (≤2 s). This work demonstrates the use of μCP for facile creation of multianalyte sensing microprobes by targeted deposition of enzymes onto preselected sites of a microelectrode array.

Abstract
High-performance biosensors were fabricated by efficiently transferring enzyme onto Pt electrode surfaces using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp. Polypyrrole and Nafion were coated first on the electrode surface to act as permselective films for exclusion of both anionic and cationic electrooxidizable interfering compounds. A chitosan film then was electrochemically deposited to serve as an adhesive layer for enzyme immobilization. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was selected as a model enzyme for construction of a glucose biosensor, and a mixture of GOx and bovine serum albumin was stamped onto the chitosan-coated surface and subsequently crosslinked using glutaraldehyde vapor. For the optimized fabrication process, the biosensor exhibited excellent performance characteristics including a linear range up to 2 mM with sensitivity of 29.4 ± 1.3 μA mM-1 cm-2 and detection limit of 4.3 ± 1.7 μM (S/N = 3) as well as a rapid response time of ~2 s. In comparison to those previously described, this glucose biosensor exhibits an excellent combination of high sensitivity, low detection limit, rapid response time, and good selectivity. Thus, these results support the use of PDMS stamping as an effective enzyme deposition method for electroenzymatic biosensor fabrication, which may prove especially useful for the deposition of enzyme at selected sites on microelectrode array microprobes of the kind used for neuroscience research in vivo.

Abstract
An amperometric biosensor based on tricobalt tetraoxide nanoparticles (Co3O4), graphene (GR), and chitosan (CS) nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for sensitive determination of glutamate was fabricated. Scanning electron microscopy was implemented to characterize morphology of the nanocomposite. The biosensor showed optimum response within 25 s at pH 7.5 and 37 °C, at +0.70 V. The linear working range of biosensor for glutamate was from 4.0 × 10-6 to 6.0 × 10-4 M with a detection limit of 2.0 × 10-6 M and sensitivity of 0.73 μA/mM or 7.37 μA/mMcm2. The relatively low Michaelis-Menten constant (1.09 mM) suggested enhanced enzyme affinity to glutamate. The glutamate biosensor lost 45% of its initial activity after three weeks.

Abstract
l-Glutamate is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the mammalian central nervous system, playing a vital role in many physiological processes and implicated in several neurological disorders, for which monitoring of dynamic levels of extracellular glutamate in the living brain tissues may contribute to medical understanding and treatments. Electrochemical sensing of glutamate has been developed recently mainly using platinum, carbon fibre and carbon nanotube electrodes. In the present work, we explore the fabrication and properties of electrochemical glutamate sensors fabricated on doped chemical vapour deposition diamond electrodes and graphene nanoplatelet structures. The sensors incorporate platinum nanoparticles to catalyse the electrooxidation of hydrogen peroxide, glutamate oxidase to oxidise glutamate, and a layer of poly-phenylenediamine to impart selectivity. The performance of the devices was compared to a similar sensor fabricated on glassy carbon. Both the diamond and the graphene sensor showed very competitive performance compared to the majority of existing electrochemical sensors. The graphene based sensor showed the best performance of the three investigated in terms of sensitivity, linear dynamic range and long term stability, whereas it was found that the diamond device showed the best limit of detection.

Abstract
A thermoelectric biosensor for the detection of L-glutamate concentration was developed. The thermoelectric sensor is integrated into a micro-calorimeter which measures the heat produced by biochemical reactions. The device contains a single flow channel that is 120 µm high and 10 mm wide with two fluid inlets and one fluid outlet. An antimony-bismuth (Sb-Bi) thermopile with high common mode rejection ratio is attached to the lower channel wall and measures the dynamic changes in the temperature when L-glutamate undergoes oxidative deamination in the presence of glutamate oxidase (GLOD). The thermopile has a Seebeck coefficient of ~7 µV·(m·K)−1. The device geometry, together with hydrodynamic focusing, eliminates the need of extensive temperature control. Layer-by-layer assembly is used to immobilize GLOD on the surface of glass coverslips by alternate electrostatic adsorption of polyelectrolyte and GLOD. The impulse injection mode using a 6-port injection valve minimizes sample volume to 5 µL. The sensitivity of the sensor for glutamate is 17.9 nVs·mM−1 in the linear range of 0–54 mM with an R2 value of 0.9873. The lowest detection limit of the sensor for glutamate is 5.3 mM.

Abstract
Dysregulation of neurotransmitters (NTs) in the human body are related to diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The mechanisms of several neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, have been linked to NTs. Because the number of diagnosed cases is increasing, the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases are important. To detect biomolecules including NTs, microtechnology, micro and nanoelectronics have become popular in the form of the miniaturization of medical and clinical devices. They offer high-performance features in terms of sensitivity, as well as low-background noise. In this paper, we review various devices and circuit techniques used for monitoring NTs in vitro and in vivo and compare various methods described in recent publications.

Abstract
Glutamate sensors based on the immobilization of glutamate oxidase (GlutOx) were prepared by adsorption on electrodeposited chitosan (Method 1) and by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (Method 2) on micromachined platinum microelectrodes. It was observed that glutamate sensors prepared by Method 1 have faster response time (<2 s) and lower detection limit (2.5 ± 1.1 μM) compared to that prepared by Method 2 (response time: <5 sec and detection limit: 6.5 ± 1.7 μM); glutamate sensors prepared by Method 2 have a larger linear detection range (20–352 μM) and higher sensitivity (86.8 ± 8.8 nA·μM−1·cm−2, N = 12) compared to those prepared by Method 1 (linear detection range: 20–217 μM and sensitivity: 34.9 ± 4.8 nA·μM−1·cm−2, N = 8). The applicability of the glutamate sensors in vivo was also demonstrated. The glutamate sensors were implanted into the rat brain to monitor the stress-induced extracellular glutamate release in the hypothalamus of the awake, freely moving rat.

Abstract
The dual responsive Electrochemical Cell-on-a-Chip Microdisc Electrode Array (ECC MDEA 5037) is a recently developed electrochemical transducer for use in a wireless, implantable biosensor system for the continuous measurement of interstitial glucose and lactate. Fabrication of the biorecognition membrane via pyrrole electropolymerization and both in vitro and in vivo characterization of the resulting biotransducer is described. The influence of EDC-NHS covalent conjugation of glucose oxidase with 4-(3-pyrrolyl) butyric acid (monomerization) and with 4-sulfobenzoic acid (sulfonization) on biosensor performance was examined. As the extent of enzyme conjugation was increased sensitivity decreased for monomerized enzymes but increased for sulfonized enzymes. Implanted biotransducers were examined in a Sprague-Dawley rat hemorrhage model. Resection after 4 h and subsequent in vitro re-characterization showed a decreased sensitivity from 0.68 (±0.40) to 0.22 (±0.17) µA·cm-2·mM-1, an increase in the limit of detection from 0.05 (±0.03) to 0.27 (±0.27) mM and a six-fold increase in the response time from 41 (±18) to 244 (±193) s. This evidence reconfirms the importance of biofouling at the bio-abio interface and the need for mitigation strategies to address the foreign body response.
