Abstract

Dumbbell-like Pt(48)Pd(52)-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles are synthesized and functionalized with oleylamine-polyethyleneglycol to serve as an efficient catalyst for H(2)O(2) reduction and tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation in biological solutions. The Pt(48)Pd(52)-Fe(3)O(4)/TMB kit is even more active than the natural enzyme for H(2)O(2) detection with a detection limit reaching 2 μM, and is successfully used to quantitatively monitor the extracellular H(2)O(2) generated by neutrophils.
