Abstract:
Thin-film platinum electrodes have been prepared for use in a system for measurement of glucose. Cyclic voltammetry was used to test the electrodes in phosphate and bicarbonate solutions, and in the dialysate of human serum. The peak current output for glucose concentrations between 50-300 mg/dl in a phosphate buffer, and 100-250 mg/dl in the dialysate of human serum, were linear. Two of the three inflection points occurring in the voltammograms are invariant with changes in scan rate, pH, CO2, O2, and glucose. A method for using these points to compensate for voltage drift and current shift is discussed.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
