A novel glucose biosensor was constructed by using ferrocene-carbonyl-beta-cyclodextrin (FcCD) inclusive complex as electron-transfer mediator and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electron-transfer promoter. FcCD inclusive complex and glucose oxidase (GOx) were covalently bonded to CNTs by poly-l-lysine (PLL) to fabricate a glucose biosensor. The electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose at the biosensor occurred at low potential below 200 mV, avoiding the interference of the main interfering substances in real samples containing a 5-times higher concentration of l-cysteine, ascorbic acid, and uric acid. The biosensor showed fast response for glucose. A broad linear range of glucose concentration from 1.0 x 10(-5) to 2.90 x 10(-3) M was obtained and the detection limit was 2.2 x 10(-6) M.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
