At the synapse, D-serine is an endogenous co-agonist for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). It plays an important role in synaptic transmission and plasticity and has also been linked to several pathological diseases such as schizophrenia and Huntington's. The quantification of local changes in D-serine concentration is essential to further understanding these processes. We report herein the development of a disk-shaped amperometric enzymatic biosensor for detection of D-serine based on a 25 μm diameter platinum disk microelectrode with an electrodeposited poly-m-phenylenediamine (PPD) layer and an R. gracilis D-amino acid oxidase (RgDAAO) layer. The disk-shaped D-serine biosensor is 1-5 orders of magnitude smaller than previously reported probes and exhibits a sensitivity of 276 μA cm(-2) mM(-1) with an in vitro detection limit of 0.6 μM. We demonstrate its usefulness for in vivo applications by measuring the release of endogenous D-serine in the brain of Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

Characterizing the catecholamine content of single mammalian vesicles by collision-adsorption events at an electrode.

We present the electrochemical response to single adrenal chromaffin vesicles filled with catecholamine hormones as they are adsorbed and rupture on a 33 μm diameter disk-shaped carbon electrode. The vesicles adsorb onto the electrode surface and sequentially spread out over the electrode surface, trapping their contents against the electrode. These contents are then oxidized, and a current (or amperometric) peak results from each vesicle that bursts.

In such procedures, precise motion control is essential to avoid damage to the patient's tissues and/or the device itself. A typical example is the insertion of a cochlear implant which should ideally be done with minimum physical contact between the moving device and the cochlear canal walls or the basilar membrane.

The analytical performance of amperometric microcells with different electrode geometries is compared for enzyme activity measurements. The microcells were fabricated with thin film photolithography or thick film screen-printing in four different designs. The cells made with the thin film process used flexible substrate with microelectrode array or a circular, disk-shaped working electrode.

The most important sources of noise with disk-shaped carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs) are the exposed cut disk face of the fiber itself and the seal region between the carbon fiber and the applied insulating layer. To reduce noise and to fabricate simple, reproducible low-noise CFMEs, we sealed commercially available carbon fibers in pulled glass pipets and then we performed cylindrical etching of the fiber extending beyond the glass sheath, followed by insulation with anodic electrophoretic deposition of paint. The resulting CFMEs had electroactive carbon disks with radii as small as ∼0.
