Glucose biosensor based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes and screen printed carbon electrodes

This paper describes a disposable electrochemical biosensor for glucose monitoring. The sensor was based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) immobilized with glucose oxidase and upon screen printed carbon electrode. The effect of MWCNTs on the response of amperometric glucose oxidase electrode for glucose was examined. Results obtained, of interest for basic and applied biochemistry, represent a first step in construction of a MWCNT–enzyme electrode biosensor with potentialities for a successful application in the biosensor area.
