Fabrication of self-assembled oligophenylethynylenethiol monolayer for electrochemical glucose biosensor.
An electrochemical glucose biosensor was developed using a gold (Au) electrode, which was composed of self-assembled oligophenylethynylenethiol monolayer and glucose oxidase (GOx) structure. Oligophenylethynylenethiol was used as a chemical linker for the immobilization of GOx on Au electrode, which facilitates the transfer of electron produced by enzyme reaction to the Au electrode. The electrical property of self-assembled oligophenylethynylenethiol monolayer was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The formation of self-assembled oligophenylethynylenethiol monolayer and GOx layer on Au surface was verified by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The electrochemical glucose biosensor exhibited a linear relationship between target concentration and oxidation current in the range of 2-30mM and its detection limit was 2mM.
