Abstract
A diamond-like carbon (DLC) microelectrode was applied for diagnosis of RA (rheumatoid arthritis). In this work, oxidized 3,5,3',5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was quantified by amperometry instead of optical density measurement. Quantification was carried out by using a boron doped DLC microelectrode and cyclic voltammetric analysis method without quenching step which uses sulfuric acid. For the RA diagnosis, the cut-off value was determined by considering the sensitivity as well as the selectivity of the analysis. The test results demonstrate that electrochemical ELISA using DLC microelectrode was feasible for the RA diagnosis.
