Popis: A novel fabrication of an amperometric glucose sensor by layer after layer approach is described. The sensor electrode is fabricated by arranging a layer of Pt black, a layer of glucose oxidase (GOD) and a layer of stabilizer gelatin on a shapable electro-conductive (SEC) film surface. Finally, the dried layered-assembly is cross-linked by exposing to a diluted glutaraldehyde solution. The performance of the developed sensor is evaluated by a FIA system at 37°C and under a continuous polarization at 0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The sensitivity of the sensor was dependent on the amount of GOD loaded. The highest sensitivity (3.6 μA/mM cm−2) of the sensor was obtained at a GOD loading of 160 μg/cm2, and the linear dynamic range was extended to 80 mM level when the sensor was covered with a polycarbonate membrane. The sensor shows an extremely stable response for several weeks and a storage stability of over 2 years.
