Description
Summary:In Malaysia, the first Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) survey was conducted in 1996 and it was discovered that Peninsular Malaysia did not have IDD problem until latter studies showed goitre occurrence of 34.7% in Hulu Langat district and urinary iodine lower than the adequate level of (100-199 ug/L) in Perak and Pahang states (Selamat et al., 2010). Baseline and periodical sampling of children and pregnant woman urine and imported salt commodities for the consumption of the population is mandatory for iodine measurement. Thus, development of quantitative methods of measurement of salt and food iodine is crucial for implementation of the USI program nationwide. In this study, interdigitated electrode (IDE) biosensor, a rapid, sensitive and selective method has been developed to determine the iodine content in both urine and salt. This method includes functionalization and silanization step using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES). The I-V characterization of IDE biosensor was performed using (Keithley 2450), Kickstart software and Probestation. It measures the amount of current flow through IDE which is directly proportional to the concentration of iodine in both urine and salt. Hence, IDE biosensor is proven to be a rapid, selective, sensitive method and can be developed as a new nanotechnology for the elimination of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) among children and pregnant woman.
