Developing a reliable and cost-effective miniaturized electroanalysis tool is of vital importance for cell electrochemical analysis. In this work, a novel mini-electrochemical system has been constructed for trace detection of cell samples. The mini-electrochemical system was constructed by integrating a pencil graphite modified by threonine (PT/PGE) as working electrode, an Ag/AgCl (Sat'd) as reference electrode, platinum wire as counter electrode and a micropipet tip as electrochemical cell. The mini-electrochemical system not only saved dramatically usage of samples from 500μL in traditional electrochemical system to 10μL, but also possessed an adjustable active surface area by changing the length of PT/PGE immersed into the cell suspension from 3mm to 15mm, and the linear equation was ipa=2.25l−2.64 (R2=0.990). The system was successfully used in detection of MCF-7 cells, and a nonlinear exponent relationship between peak current and the cell number range from 3.0×l03 to 7.0×l06cellsmL−1 was established firstly with the index equation ipa=59.557e (−C/1.709)−71.486 (R2=0.954). Finally, the system was used for evaluating the sensitivity of cyclophosphamide on MCF-7 cell, and the result was corresponded well with that of MTT assay. The proposed system is sufficiently simple, cheap and easy operated, and could be applied in electrochemical detection of other biological samples.
