title: Needle-type glucose microbiosensor based on glucose oxidase immobilised in an overoxidised polypyrrole film (an in-vitro study).
abstract: A fast response, needle-type glucose microbiosensor has been fabricated by a one-step electrochemical immobilisation of glucose oxidase in a polypyrrole film. The sensor shows a remarkable rejection of electroactive interferences, especially paracetamol. The maximum bias observed in the worst situation never exceeded the value of 6%. The fabrication procedure delivered very reproducible devices and the sensitivity of a newly prepared biosensor was typically 650 nA mM(-1) cm(-2). The kinetic parameters, obtained from an existing model, permitted to understand the sensor behaviour.
