Abstract: | In this paper, a mediatorless amperometric glucose biosensor based on direct covalent immobilisation of monomolecular layer of glucose oxidase (GOx) on a semiconducting indium-tin oxide (ITO) is demonstrated. The abundance of surface hydroxyl functional group of ITO allows it to be used as a suitable platform for direct covalent immobilisation of the enzyme for sensor architecture. The anodic current corresponding to electrochemical oxidation of the enzymatic product, hydrogen peroxide, at a sputtered Pt electrode at 0.500 V (vs. SCE) was obtained as the sensor signal. It was found that the biosensor based on the direct immobilisation scheme shows a fast biosensor response, minimum interference from other common metabolic species and ease of biosensor miniaturisation. A linear range of 0-10 mM of glucose was demonstrated, which exhibits a high sensitivity as far as performance per immobilised GOx molecule is concerned. A detection limit as low as 0.05 mM and long-term stability were observed. Even more important, the biosensor design allows fabrication through a dry process. These characteristics make it possible to achieve mass production of biosensor compatible with the current electronic integrated circuit manufacturing technologies. |
