| Abstract: | We report here the development of chemical sensors based on screen-printed technology in our research group to solve major analytical problems in environmental and clinical aspects. The purpose of the research is aimed at the enhancement of selectivity and sensitivity for analysis and monitoring of pollutants and analytes using novel chenically modified screen-printed electrodes. For example, an enzyme reactor coupled with a copper-plated screen-printed carbon electrode (CuSPE) was developed for glucose sensing. The electrocatalytic reduction of enzymatically produced H2O2 at the CuSPE was determined by flow injection analysis (FIA) in pH 7.4 PBS. The proposed method was applied to determine glucose content in fruit juice and clinical sample and satisfactory results with good recoveries were obtained. A thoroughly kinetics and mechanism study was also done for those systems that are verified in analytical applications. |
