Abbreviations: PANI, polyaninline; GOx, glucose oxidase; SWCNH, single-walled carbon nanohorns PANI has got recent attention due to its interesting characteristics such as high conductivity, good opto-electronic properties, environmental and electrochemical stability, biocompatibility, low cost, and easy doping de-doping chemistry. 30 Int J Biosen Bioelectron. 2017;3(1):210-213 210
AbstractGlucose sensing is of great significance as diabetes is becoming one of the biggest health care challenges of the near future. Substantial effort has been made to design and develop novel glucose monitoring devices. The aim of this review is to provide a brief overview of the recent trends in the development of glucose biosensors based on electrochemical detection procedure. A brief introduction to glucose biosensor is presented, with attention given to the challenges in non-enzymatic and enzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensors. Special emphasis is given to discussion on biocompatible conducting polymer and its derivatives used in the fabrication of electrochemical glucose biosensors.
