Carbon nanotube-hydrogen peroxide hybrid based optical sensing method for assessment of antioxidant potency
An ultrasensitive dual optical method for measuring antioxidant concentration and total antioxidant capacity is provided. Using the process, the detection limit for vitamin C is as low as 7 nM. The method is based on a hybrid of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with hydrogen-peroxide. The method provides is a robust, cheap, fast, and reusable optical sensing method for antioxidant and total antioxidant capacity measurement in foods and plasma. The method can also be developed as a miniature assay for both in vitro and in vivo detection.
