Non-aqueous enzymology approach for improvement of reagentless mediator-based glucose biosensor†
Abstract
The formation of Nafion membranes containing glucose oxidase and dimethylferrocene as a mediator was optimized using a previously reported non-aqueous enzymology approach for biosensor development. Enzyme immobilization in Nafion membranes was carried out from water–organic mixtures with a high content of organic solvent. The mediator based reagentless glucose electrode was tested in a flow injection system. The response towards glucose addition was stable: the reproducibility during 50 assays exceeded 95%. The response was linear over the glucose concentration range 0.5–50 mM.
