Abstract: A voltammetric enzymelinked immunoassay based on new system of p-aminophenol(PAP)H2O2-horseradish peroxidase(HRP) has firstly been developed and used for the detection of HRP and thyroxine(T4). HRP or labelled HRP catalyzes the oxidation reaction of PAP with H2O2, the product of which produces a sensitive voltammetric peak at potential of -0.45 V(vs. SCE) in BrittonRobinson(B-R) buffer solution. By using this voltammetric peak, the detection limit to thyroxine(T4)is 10 ng/mLand the linear range 1.0-320 ng/mL. The detection limit to T4with this method is lower than that with the enzymelinked immunosorbent spectrophotometric assay(ELISA). Some human serum samples have been analyzed and satisfactory results have been obtained.
