title: Glucose sensor for flow injection analysis of serum glucose based on immobilization of glucose oxidase in titania sol-gel membrane.
abstract: A novel amperometric glucose sensor was constructed by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOD) in a titania sol-gel film, which was prepared with a vapor deposition method. The sol-gel film was uniform, porous and showed a very low mass transport barrier and a regular dense distribution of GOD. Titania sol-gel matrix retained the native structure and activity of entrapped enzyme and prevented the cracking of conventional sol-gel glasses and the leaking of enzyme out of the film. With ferrocenium as a mediator the glucose sensor exhibited a fast response, a wide linear range from 0.07 to 15 mM. It showed a good accuracy and high sensitivity as 7.2 microA cm(-2) mM(-1). The general interferences coexisted in blood except ascorbic acid did not affect glucose determination, and coating Nafion film on the sol-gel film could eliminate the interference from ascorbic acid. The serum glucose determination results obtained with a flow injection analysis (FIA) system showed an acceptable accuracy, a good reproducibility and stability and indicated the sensor could be used in FIA determination of glucose. The vapor deposition method could fabricate glucose sensor in batches with a very small amount of enzyme.
