Response Characteristics of a Glucose Electrode with a Sensing Membrane Prepared by Plasma Polymerization

Non-enzymatic glucose biosensor based on overoxidized polypyrrole nanofiber electrode modified with cobalt(II) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate

“…The determination of glucose concentrations is very important in clinical, biological and chemical samples as well as in food processing and fermentation (Yoshimura and Hozumi, 1996;Mizutani and Yabuki, 1997;Xu and Chen, 2000). Diabetes represents one of the largest health concerns of the 21st century with worldwide prevalence predicted to double to 300 million by 2025 (King et al, 1998).…”

Application of polymer-embedded proteins to fabrication of DNA array

“…Because loss of enzyme activity upon long-term preservation is common when proteins are immobilized, Yoshimura and Hozumi (1996) investigated the use of a porous membrane and plasma-polymerized propargyl alcohol for immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOD). The advantage of the plasma-polymer (PP)-coated membrane was to stabilize the enzyme activity, probably due to the suppression of the oxidation of the enzyme (Yoshimura and Hozumi, 1996).…”

Plasma Polymerized Films for Sensor Devices

“…This overcomes the problem encountered with wire electrodes, which proved dif®cult to be homogeneously coated with Na®on ®lms. Encapsulation of GOD by plasma-polymerized ®lm was also proposed [58,59]. GOD was encapsulated between a Millpore membrane ®lter and a propagylalcohol plasma-polymerized layer.…”
