Design of a polyaniline based biosensor electrode for glucose: A comparative study of two immobilized systems

Abstract

The present study compares the results of two different methods employed for preparation of polyaniline based glucose biosensor with respect to enzyme loading, biosensing efficiency and potential stability. Kinetic analysis of the potentiometric data for two enzyme immobilized electrode systems show that the GOx/PANI electrode is suitable for assaying samples with low analyte concentrations, whereas the GOx/m-ABA/PANI electrode system exhibits a better potential stability. It may therefore be possible to achieve high level of biosensing efficiency by chemical modeling and synthesis combined with careful selection of the immobilization method.
