Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Enzyme Assays

Background:

  • Accurate glucose measurement is crucial for diabetes management and clinical diagnostics.
  • Traditional glucose sensors face limitations with oxygen dependency and electrode fouling.
  • Enzymatic methods offer high specificity for glucose detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved potentiometric glucose sensor with extended detection range.
  • To investigate the role of catalase in overcoming oxygen limitations.
  • To compare the performance of potentiometric sensors against amperometric sensors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized glucose oxidase for enzymatic glucose conversion.
  • Employed potentiometric detection for signal transduction.
  • Introduced catalase to mitigate oxygen concentration effects.
  • Assessed sensor performance across varying glucose and oxygen levels.

Main Results:

  • The potentiometric sensor showed a linear response up to 50 mg/dl without catalase.
  • Addition of catalase extended the detectable glucose concentration to 2000 mg/dl.
  • Sensor performance was independent of oxygen levels above 4 mg/l.
  • Potentiometric sensors demonstrated robustness against electrode surface deposits, unlike amperometric sensors.

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced potentiometric glucose sensor offers a wider, more reliable detection range.
  • Catalase addition effectively resolves oxygen-dependent limitations in glucose sensing.
  • Potentiometric detection provides a stable and fouling-resistant alternative for glucose monitoring.
