This paper describes the role of various external
redox mediators in biodetector systems using bioinspired nanomaterials based on magnetite@polydopamine (Fe
3O
4@PDA), and their influence on the working parameters of the designed systems. The investigated mediators were hydroxy(methylferrocene, 1,4-benzoquinone,
methylene blue,
hydroquinone, and [Fe(CN)
6]
3-/4- redox couple. The amperometric
glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing glucose
oxidase from
Aspergillus niger (GOx) onto the Fe
3O
4@PDA
nanomaterial, with the addition of a strictly defined amount of a specific external mediator. Among all tested mediators, the most favorable results were obtained for hydroxymethyl(ferrocene) with the integrated GC/Fe
3O
4@PDA-GOx system. The mediator exhibited a high linear amperometric response in a
glucose concentration range from 1 to 20 mM, with a relatively high sensitivity of 139.71 μAmM
−1 cm
−2 and a limit of detection of 1.54 μM. Moreover, the system showed good stability over time, reproducibility, and resistance to interference.
