We explore the possible use of screen printing technology for fabricating disposable electrochemical platforms for the sensing of pH. These screen printed pH sensors incorporate the pH sensitive phenanthraquinone moiety which undergoes a Nernstian potential shift with pH, and the pH insensitive dimethylferrocene which acts as an internal reference. This generic approach offers a calibration-less and reproducible approach for portable pH measurements with the possibility of miniaturisation allowing incorporation into existing sensing devices. The advantages, limitations and future prospects of this fabrication approach for producing electrochemical platforms for pH sensing are also discussed.
