An amperometric method for the determination of glucose using a screen printed carbon electrode is reported. The electrode material was bulk modified with rhodium dioxide and the enzyme glucose oxidase immobilized in a Nafionfilm on the electrode surface and investigated for its ability to serve as a detector of glucose in flow injection analysis. The sensor exhibited a linear increase of the amperometric signal with the concentration of glucose in the range of 1 -250 mg L À1 with a detection limit (evaluated as 3s) of 0.2 mg L À1 under optimized flow rate of 0.4 mL min À1 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) carrier. At the potential applied (À 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl), interferences from redox species present in the sample matrix were negligible. The biosensor reported here retained its activity for more than 40 injections or 4 months of storage at 6 8C. The RSD was determined as 1.8% for a glucose concentration of 25 mg L
À1(n ¼ 5) with a typical response time of about 28 s.
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.
