1 Introduction
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), or pro-oxidants, are molecules
or ions formed by the reduction of oxygen and are highly reactive
These species include, but are not limited to, singlet oxygen (1O2),
superoxide (O
2), peroxides (R-O-O-R0), the hydroxyl radical (OH),
and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) They can be generated via
photo-chemistry and by toxic chemical or drug exposure Biologically,
O
2 is the result of a one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen
during cell metabolism and also plays an important role in cell
sig-naling [1,2] Enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), and
antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid, are present biologically to keep
the concentration of superoxide manageable However, during
times of environmental stress, the levels of O2 can exceed those
which can be removed by natural defenses and can lead to
destruc-tion of vital cell structures, leading ultimately to cancer, ischemia/
reperfusion damage, diabetes, aging-correlated pathology, or
car-diovascular disease[3–5]
Because of its damaging effects, the detection and
quantifica-tion of O
2 has been the subject of biomedical interest for decades
[6–11] A robust and reliable detection scheme for superoxide
would lead to better understanding of its effects However, the
detection of O
2 is complicated by its rapid dismutation At
physi-ological pHs, the half-life ranges from milliseconds to seconds[12] Therefore detection of O
2 also requires sensitivity and selectivity along with rapid detection for in vitro and in vivo applications Pre-vious studies have employed numerous analytical techniques to explore O
2 reactions Among these, electron spin resonance (ESR) has been a reliable way to monitor ROS, but requires long averaging times, and is restricted in sensitivity[13] High perfor-mance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is another popular form of ROS detection, but requires digestion of the biological samples, which is not compatible with in vivo work[14,15] Chemilumines-cence also offers specific targeting of certain ROS[16–18]However, the chemicals involved may easily disrupt the biological system one is attempting to monitor, or may interfere with the reaction
to oxidative stress
Electrochemical detection of O
2 is promising not only for its biocompatibility, fast response times, and selectivity, but can also
be easily integrated into portable devices Exploiting the biological function of proteins by integrating them onto, e.g., a gold surface allows for selectivity Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a heme protein that can be found within the inner membrane of mitochondria It can function as a catalyst for hydroxylation and aromatic oxidation, and is an initiator in apoptosis Cytochrome c also can be reduced
by O
2 and can be anchored to the surface of an electrode using a promoter species Until now, O
2 electrodes have been engineered
in such a way that the working area is much too large or the sup-port too brittle for some in vivo work, limiting its capabilities Fur-ther, calibration of such a sensor has not been found in literature

Trang 2[19–24] Presented here is the first micron-scale flexible O
2 sensor compatible for in vivo detection Here, patterned gold electrodes on
a Kapton™ surface were modified using cyt c anchored by a
self-assembled monolayer of dithiobis-(succinimidyl) propionate
(DTSP) Using the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system to produce
O
2, the signal response of this sensor is presented along with
cal-ibration and exposure to biological interferents
Electrodes were fabricated such that working, counter, and
ref-erence electrodes would all fit on a 200lm wide projection a few
millimeters long, as initial applications envisioned included study
of noise-induced hearing loss[25–27]in small mammals and
mon-itoring of reactions in ultrasonically-levitated drops[28–30]
2 Materials and methods
2.1 Materials
Unless noted, all chemicals are of reagent grade, used as
re-ceived Mono- and dibasic potassium phosphate, oxalic acid,
hydrogen peroxide, potassium carbonate, 3,30-Dithiodipropionic
acid di(N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) (DTSP), xanthine, xanthine
oxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), b-nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt (NADH), citric acid, ascorbic
acid, glucose, cyt c and organic solvents were obtained from Sigma
Aldrich (St Louis, Mo) Kapton™ 500 FCP and 500 VN, both 127
micrometers thick (DuPont) were used for the sensor substrate
Lithography was achieved using S 1805 positive photoresist
(Microchem), MF 319 developer (Shipley), and GE 8111 gold etch
(Transene)
A 50 mM stock, pH 7.4 phosphate solution was created by
dis-solving 0.1558 g of monosodium phosphate, monohydrate and
1.037 g disodium phosphate, heptahydrate into 100 mL of
deion-ized (DI) water The stock solution was further diluted to 10:1 to
obtain a 25 mM solution, which was used for experimentation
A 2 mM xanthine solution was made by dissolving 0.006 g of
xanthine in 50 mL of 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and was
mechanically stirred on low at low heat to fully dissolve the
xan-thine The solution is allowed to cool to room temperature before
being used Over time, the xanthine precipitates and can be
redis-solved by heat and stirring
A 30 mM solution of SOD was made by dissolving 0.2 mg of SOD
in 200 mL of 25 mM phosphate buffer and kept on ice
A 0.8 mg/mL solution of xanthine oxidase was made by diluting
5 mL of a 16 mg/mL suspension of xanthine oxidase to 105lL
using 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and kept on ice
Artificial perilymph (a mixture chosen for its relevance to future
studies of noise-induced hearing loss) contained 112 mM NaCl,
4.2 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 3.4 mM NaH2PO4, 5.3 mM Na2HPO4,
21 mM NaHCO3M and 3.6 mM glucose in DI water Specifically,
0.659 g NaCl, 0.0313 g KCl, 0.0203 g MgCl2 6H2O, 0.0475 g
NaH2PO4 H2O, 0.0764 g Na2HPO4, 0.1764 g NaHCO3, and
0.0649 g glucose for every 100 mL of DI water
Unless otherwise noted, a CH660 (CH Instruments, Austin, TX)
was the potentiostat used When indicated, a Keithley 6485
Picoammeter (Solon, OH) was used All chronoamperometry data
were collected at 3 Hz using the digitizer built into the
picoamme-ter Unless stated, all electrochemical measurements were made
using a Ag/AgCl reference (CH Instruments, Austin, TX, [Cl] = 3 M)
electrode and all potentials are reported as such A Pt wire was
used as a counter electrode All ebeam work is done on a Temescal
six pocket E-Beam Evaporation System (Livermore, CA) All UV
exposures were completed using a Karl Suss MJB3 Mask aligner
(SUSS MicroTec Inc., Waterbury, VT) A HI3222 pH/ORP/ISE meter
(Hanna Instruments, Woonsocket, RI) was used for all pH
measure-ments Oxygen plasma cleaning is done with a MARCH CS 1701 RIE
and RFX 600 generator (Nordson MARCH, Carlsbad,CA) All nitro-gen was from tank sources, not house supply
The platform of this sensor is inexpensive and disposable with the intention to calibrate, use, validate and dispose without reuse Therefore, all reported experiments use each electrode for only one experiment
2.2 Fabrication and modification of sensor Kapton™ surfaces were cleaned prior to metal deposition by successive washing in acetone, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, fol-lowed by drying with N2 The substrates were then exposed to oxy-gen plasma (80 sccm, 500 mTorr, 200 W) for 300 s and placed immediately into the ebeam deposition chamber A 60–80 Å adhe-sion layer of Ti was coated (1 Å s1) followed by 2000 Å of Au Upon removal from the deposition chamber, the newly coated surfaces were flushed with N2and placed in a dessicator Typical lithogra-phy procedures were used to pattern gold electrodes[31] Specifi-cally, S1805 positive photoresist was spun onto the surface of the gold (300 rpm, 30 s) and baked at 110 °C for 3 min Once removed,
it was allowed to cool A positive mask was placed onto the surface and held in place with a quartz slide The surface was exposed to
UV light (12 s, 300 W), placed in MF 319 developer (5–10 s) and quickly rinsed with DI water Ti and Au were etched in GE 8111 (2–4 min) and rinsed generously with DI water Photoresist was re-moved using acetone Due to the precise dimensions required, la-ser cutting was used to excise the sensor from the Kapton™ sheet Sensors were kept in a desiccator until modification to re-duce delamination of Au
Areas where isolation from the environment is necessary, the gold surfaces between sensing and contact pad areas, were coated
by hand-painting polyimide onto the surface and cured at 100 °C for 1 h The working area was 3 mm by 50lm but could have been made smaller by isolating more of the gold lead The electrode sur-face is then cleaned by placing it in oxygen plasma for 2–4 min be-fore being chemically modified Typical electrochemical cleaning in acidic solutions causes the gold to delaminate from the Ti or Cr adhesion layer Covalent binding of cyt c was largely based on a procedure from Chen et al [32] Briefly, a clean gold electrode was placed in a 10 mM (dried over sieves DMSO) solution of DTSP for 2 h at room temperature Once removed, the electrode was lightly rinsed with dry DMSO, then DI water and dried with nitro-gen Gold surfaces where DMSO is not desired can be placed in 0.5 M KOH (methanol) and exposed to 1.5 V for 120 s and imme-diately rinsed with DI water The electrode was then placed in a
2 mg/mL solution of cyt c (25 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4) at
4 °C for 24 h DTSP contains the NHS ester which provides a good leaving group allowing amines on the cyt c to covalently bind to the DTSP-modified surface Once removed from the cyt c solution,
it was lightly rinsed with cold phosphate buffer and stored in buf-fer at 4 °C when not in use
2.3 Calibration of superoxide sensor The DTSP/cyt c modified working electrode was removed from
25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), rinsed with cold 25 mM phos-phate buffer (pH 7.4), and placed in a 2 mL solution of xanthine (2 mM) A stir bar was added to the reaction cell along with a Ag/AgCl reference electrode and a Pt wire as the counter electrode
A potential was applied to the counter electrode using a potentio-stat so that the working electrode was at 200 mV (to ensure proper oxidation of cyt c) with respect to the reference electrode The working electrode was connected to the picoammeter to measure current Background current was recorded for a period of time to establish a stable background level Serial injections of the xan-thine oxidase solution (20lL) were added to the reaction cell
Trang 3and the mechanical stirring was turned on for 20 s and then turned
off A final 50lL injection of the SOD solution was then added to
the reaction cell to demonstrate the extent to which removal of
O
2 returns signal to the background level Again, mechanical
stir-ring was employed for a brief period and then stopped while
cur-rent data continued to be collected until the end of the analysis
2.4 Interferent studies
The DTSP/cyt c electrode was rinsed with phosphate buffer and
placed in 3 mL xanthine solution (2 mM in artificial perilymph)
The sensor was then held at 200 mV vs the reference until a stable
background was obtained 50lL xanthine oxidase solution was
added to the solution and the solution was mechanically stirred
for a brief time 50lL of interferent (final concentration of
3.75 mM) was then pipetted into the solution, mechanically
stir-ring briefly Finally, 50lL SOD solution was added and mixed for
a brief time to void the solution of O

3 Theory
The evolution of O
2 from the reaction between xanthine and xanthine oxidase (XO), in the presence of O2, can be seen in Eq
(1)with the dismutation reaction of O
2 found in Eq.(2) Xanthine þ O2þ H2O !½XOUrate þ O2 þ 2Hþ ð1Þ
2O
Assuming no interference, the concentration of O
2 at steady state is proportional to [XO]1/2 This presumes that dismutation,
rather than consumption of O
2 by the electrode, is the main sink for the radical Presuming [O2] and [xanthine] are high enough that
xanthine oxidase concentration limits the rate of O
2 formation, and making the steady-state approximation,

4 Results and discussion
The overall design of the sensor kept in mind the incorporation
of a reference electrode and multiple working electrodes on the
same substrate with minimal dimensions The overall length of
the electrode is 2.5 cm, with a tip width of 200lm and working
length of up to 3 mm The dimensions were governed by the
open-ing of the round window in a Mongolian gerbil, the initial in vivo
target of this sensor, to monitor O
2 generation in the cochlea
Using Kapton™, the substrate is robust and the gold surface
mal-leable enough to produce a flexible sensor However, there are
con-cerns with delamination of gold from the adhesion layer Moisture
seems to be the main cause of delamination and can be minimized
by placing unmodified electrodes in a desiccator until ready for
use After modification, gold surfaces were stable for up to 10 days
before delamination rendered the electrodes useless Reliable
res-olution of the delamination issue is critical if Kapton™ is to be
rou-tinely used as a substrate The flexing of the electrode did not
appear to cause of any visual delamination
The heart of a perfectly modified electrode is a perfectly clean
surface Bulk gold electrodes are typically cleaned using a variety
of processes such as mechanical polishing using alumina powder,
followed by sonication in H2SO4 Alumina powder is too abrasive for thin films Piranha (1:3, H2O2:H2SO4) creates too harsh of an environment, causing Kapton™ to warp and gold to delaminate
A survey of literature using gold patterned electrodes on Kapton™ found either vague or no instructions for cleaning the gold surfaces prior to being modified[33–35] Gold/Kapton™ electrodes appear
to have always been used in an unmodified fashion Therefore, the quality of the gold surface after fabrication was not as critical
as when the surface is to be modified As yet, we find that the high-est quality modified electrode has been created by cleaning the gold surface using oxygen plasma
Cyt c was chosen for the immobilized protein after numerous attempts to immobilize and retain the working function of SOD Using cited procedures[36–38], SOD can be immobilized onto a gold surface electrostatically (3-mercaptopropionic acid, MPA) or via DTSP However, we found that the metal ions in active sites, which are complexed by nearby amino acid ligands to maintain protein shape, easily dissociated from the protein during amper-ometry, rendering the resultant apoenzyme useless Since certain thiols can yield signal in the presence of O
2 without protein pres-ent, inactivation is typically not easily detected unless cyclic vol-tammetry is performed to characterize the electrodes [32] Therefore, cyt c, while not the most selective protein for interacting with O
2, is more stable than SOD when immobilized Cyclic vol-tammograms of the DTSP/cyt c surface at varying scan rates can
be seen inFig 1 The peak potentials of the sensor near 0.05 V and +0.1 V vs Ag/AgCl remain stable with peak ratio of 2 indicating
a quasi reversible reaction The xanthine/xanthine oxidase system for producing O2 was used to calibrate the sensor
The response of the sensor (3 mm in length) to multiple addi-tions of xanthine oxidase can be seen inFig 2with results summa-rized in Table 1, with standard deviation being that within the single run Each addition of enzyme generates sufficient O
2 that,
at steady state, [O
2] increases by 4.5lM Data was processed by boxcar averaging the signal using 3 data points (IgorPro, Wavemet-rics) to reduce noise Current was then averaged when a stable baseline was reached and again after each addition of xanthine oxi-dase Shifts in current were calculated by difference using the background current as reference To ensure that the signal was in-deed from O
2, SOD was added after the four aliquots of xanthine oxidase, dropping the current 67% from maximum towards base-line Though, these sensors are not intended for repeated use, SOD proved not to alter the sensing surface Large noise fluctua-tions at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 s are due to induced current from magnet mechanical stirring, indicating why mechanical

Trang 4stirring cannot be carried out throughout the analysis A
calibra-tion plot for the sensor can be found inFig 3 The linear regression
does not intersect at origin, which is not very surprising O
2 is dis-mutating, the electrode itself is consuming O
2, and interferents are most likely present The inability of the signal to return to baseline
upon the addition of SOD also hints at interference from H2O2
Re-cently, Kelly et al studied the xanthine/xanthine oxidase reaction
and found H2O2 to be the major product even at short reaction
times, prior to when the long-known suicide reaction occurs
[39] H2O2 is a known interferent when working with cyt c and
could possibly be the cause for the shift in baseline and is the basis
for studying its effects on the sensors ability to work
It is important to note that the xanthine/xanthine oxidase
sys-tem is far from ideal The basis for using this syssys-tem relies on
achieving a steady state concentration of O
2 The xanthine/xan-thine oxidase reaction deteriorates over time, causing the concen-tration of O2 to gradually drop to zero after 3 h, by which time XO generates only H2O2[12] Also, xanthine oxidase activity decreases gradually even when stored as a solid suspension Therefore it can-not be assumed that the same supply of xanthine oxidase will cre-ate the same concentration of O
2 from day to day Because of this, the xanthine oxidase activity must be calibrated spectrophotomet-rically using cyt c absorbance at 550.5 nm each time it is used[11]
It is not meaningful to compute standard deviations for each data point, as it is impossible to precisely replicate concentration incre-ments of O
2 Therefore, as it stands, each electrode can only be cal-ibrated approximately by running a spectrometric analysis of the xanthine/xanthine oxidase solution and quickly moving onto the calibration of the cyt c electrode Though not the intended goal, these sensors have proven to give signal for up to five days of use Interferent studies focused on species anticipated to be present during upcoming noise-induced hearing loss studies, and on spe-cies present during calibration Uric acid and H2O2 are products generated in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase reaction and/or a product of O
2 dismutation, Eq.(1)While a significant concentra-tion of uric acid is not typical biologically, it will be present during the calibration process until a better method for calibration (E Chainani, A Keith, personal communication) of O
2 can be per-fected NADH, citric acid and glucose are also biologically impor-tant in metabolism and are most certainly present if a cell were
to undergo apoptosis Ascorbic acid is a common radical scavenger and is essential for such scavenging in biological settings The particular interferents listed above were analyzed A typical interferent study can be seen inFig 4 Here, once the background current became stable, 5.2lM O
2 (final concentration) was added
to the system Intense noise fluctuations occur during the brief stir-ring followed by an increase of 100 pA At about 300 s 3.75 mM glucose (final concentration) was added to the system, again with brief noise fluctuations due to mechanical stirring, resulting in a 20% drop in current Addition of SOD allowed signal to drop 77% back to baseline, similar to studies without interferents The same sensor was then used repeatedly with no further complications, proving no biofouling from glucose This procedure was repeated for each interferent and a summary of results can be found in
Table 2 NADH, citric acid, and uric acid showed no significant interference Expected ascorbic acid scavenging abilities were demonstrated, Table 2 Upon addition, signal dropped 60% followed by a relatively insignificant change upon addition of SOD While H2O2 is known to reduce cyt c, the effects in the
Fig 2 Chronoamperometry response (at 200 mV) of cyt c to 4 additions of 25lL of
xanthine oxidase solution in 2 mM xanthine solution, followed by addition of
50lLSOD (2 mg/mL) to bring signal back to background current Data (obtained at
3 Hz) has been box averaged for every three data points.

Trang 5presence O
2 are nearly immeasurable However, H2O2hinders the
ability of SOD to return signal to baseline This could be due to an
exchange of O2 response for a H2O2response while maintaining
the same current Adding catalase might not clarify this issue, as
a signal could easily then be generated by O
2 oxidation The differ-ence in current response between data shown inFig 2versusFig 4
can be explained in two parts First, the calibration of O
2 is time dependent, therefore the concentration of O
2 at the time of use al-ways has a margin of error Second, the working area of the
elec-trode varies as the isolated regions are hand painted with
polyimide Future efforts are being put forth to create reproducible
working area by utilizing lithography of polyimide
5 Conclusion
Thin film gold on Kapton™ was used to create the first flexible
O
2 sensor for in vivo applications The calibration showed a linear
response within the constraints established by using
xanthine/xan-thine oxidase as a O2 source Interferent studies demonstrated
that H2O2might prove to be a concern while other interferents
showed expected results Further work involves incorporation a
reference electrode onto the sensor along with a sensor specific
for H2O2
