  • Nafion was used to impregnate the composite, followed by immobilization of Os(bpy)3+2/+3 mediators and glucose oxidase.
  • The developed microsensor exhibited direct electrochemical glucose oxidation with a linear response (0-15 mM), Michaelis behavior, and excellent stability over one month in serum and buffer solutions.

    • Impact:

    • The high loading of mediators (7.0x10^-8 mol cm^-2) surpasses conventional polymer-modified electrodes.
    • The microsensor demonstrates robust performance and reproducibility, indicating potential for clinical diagnostic applications.
    • This work contributes to the advancement of electrochemical biosensors for accurate and reliable glucose monitoring.
