Diffusion-controlled detection of glucose with microelectrodes in mediated bioelectrocatalytic oxidation

Anal Sci. 2013;29(3):279-81. doi: 10.2116/analsci.29.279.

Abstract

This paper describes a diffusion-controlled electrolysis of glucose with mediated bioelectrocatalysis at microdisk-electrodes. Under conditions of an extremely fast enzyme reaction, compared with the diffusion of glucose, the current in potential-step chronoamperometry reaches an almost steady state within 10 s, and is proportional to the glucose concentration. The current can be detected at +0.1 V (vs. Ag|AgCl) with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone as a mediator. The addition of carboxymethylcellulose increased the linear range up to 10 mM.
