Abstract:
A glucose biosensor with enzyme immobilised by sol-gel technology was constructed and evaluated. The glucose biosensor reported is based on encapsulated GOX within a sol-gel glass, prepared with 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane, 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimetoxy silane and HCl. A flow system incorporating the amperometric biosensor constructed was developed for the determination of glucose in the 1x10(-4)-5x10(-3) moll(-1) range with a precision of 1.5%. The results obtained for the analysis of electrolytic solution for iv administration and human serum samples showed good agreement between the proposed method and the reference procedure, with relative error <5%.
