Structural development of a minimally invasive sensor chip for blood glucose monitoring

Polypyrrole nanotube array sensor for enhanced adsorption of glucose oxidase in glucose biosensors

“…Here we have selected glucose oxidase (GOx) as the sample enzyme to fabricate a glucose biosensor considering the facts of low cost and higher stability of this particular enzyme (Kaimori et al, 2006).…”

Development of a self-sterilizing lancet coated with a titanium dioxide photocatalytic nano-layer for self-monitoring of blood glucose

“…In addition, antibacterial conditions can be maintained by packaging after UV irradiation, or continuous UV irradiation of a transparent package (Shinohara et al, 2005). Through joint research between Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd. and RCAB, an SMBG system (Kurusu et al, 2005;Kaimori et al, 2006) and an SMBG sensor chip-equipped lancet as a unification model are development for practical use.…”

“…Sterile needles, including lancets, are required in clinical and medical settings, and their use in self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) (Nakamura and Karube, 2003;Newman and Turner, 2005;Kaimori et al, 2006) is increasing due to the rise in diabetes (WHO, 2004).…”

Establishment of Ferricyanide Chronoamperometric Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Employing a Carbon Screen-Printed Disposable Microchip —Fundamental Study Using Vegetable Extraction—

“…(2) Further enhancement of the disposability was realized by carbon screen printing onto the surface of a polymer sheet. Using this technique, several types of disposable microchips for electrochemical chronoamperometric sensing employing ferricyanide mediation have been developed for measurements of blood constituents, (3)(4)(5)(6) ethanol in alcoholic beverages, (7) environmental water quality, (8) and for composting. (9) From these experiences, we have subsequently developed an disposable electrochemical microchip fabricated by carbon screen printing for ferricyanide chronoamperometry (FC).…”
