Development of a Novel Silver Nanoparticles-Enhanced Screen-Printed Amperometric Glucose Biosensor

Abstract A disposable glucose biosensor is developed by immobilizing glucose oxidase into silver nanoparticles-doped silica sol-gel and polyvinyl alcohol hybrid film on a Prussian blue-modified screen-printed electrode. The silver nanoparticles-enhanced biosensor shows a linear amperometric response to glucose from 1.25 × 10−5 to 2.56 × 10−3 with a sensitivity of 20.09 mA M−1 cm−2, which is almost double that of the biosensors without silver nanoparticles. The immobilized glucose oxidase retained 91% of its original activity after 30 days of storage in phosphate buffer (pH 6.9; 0.1 M) at 4°C. Blood glucose in a rabbit serum sample was successfully measured with the biosensor.
