A biocompatible nanocomposite consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in a hyaluronic acid (HA) was investigated as a sensing platform for a mediatorless electrochemical detection of NADH. The device was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and extensively by electrochemistry. CNT–HA bionanocomposite showed more reversible electrochemistry, higher short-term stability of NADH sensing and higher selectivity of NADH detection compared to frequently used CNT–CHI (chitosan) modified GCE. Finally the performance of the sensor modified by CNT–HA was tested in a batch and flow injection analysis (FIA) mode of operation with basic characteristics revealed. The NADH sensor exhibits a good long-term operational stability (95% of the original sensitivity after 22h of continuous operation). Subsequently a d-sorbitol biosensor based on such a nanoscale built interface was prepared and characterised with a d-sorbitol dehydrogenase used as a biocatalyst.
