title: Glucose electrochemical probe with extended linearity for whole blood.
abstract: A glucose probe based on a suitable modification of the silanization process of commercially available polycarbonate membrane was assembled and evaluated. The silanization procedure was carried out in gaseous phase in an anhydrous atmosphere, with dimethyldichlorosilane in a closed vessel. This new procedure seems to be highly reproducible and has the distinct advantage of fast response time and extended linearity up to 0.1 mol l-1 of glucose. Application to serum samples shows the possibility of application in clinical chemistry.
