A major problem in development of a glucose sensor for use in an implantable artificial pancreas is the lack of reproducibility in signals from sensor to sensor. Each glucose sensor fabricated with currently used methods has a unique response to varying levels of glucose concentration and thus needs to be individually calibrated before use. We have adapted microchip manufacturing techniques for the fabrication of electrochemically based glucose sensors with standardized and reproducible function. Scanning electron microscopic study of the resulting electrode surfaces shows them to be smooth and featureless at all levels of magnification. X-ray diffraction analysis of the electrodes indicates preferential exposure of the [1,1,1] crystal interface. Cyclic voltammetry evaluation of initial sensor response to varying glucose concentrations shows excellent sensor to sensor reproducibility for all sensors made with the same underlayment. Sensors made with titanium underlayment appear to be more differentiated and thus more sensitive to variations in glucose concentration than are sensors with chromium underlayment. Although the initial response of microchip glucose sensors appears to be standardized and reproducible, additional development of an appropriate electrical insulation material is required before long-term study of signal stability is feasible.
