Disposable Glucose Sensor Employing Potassium Ferricyanide as a Mediator

Mediator Preference of Two Different FAD-Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenases Employed in Disposable Enzyme Glucose Sensors

Most commercially available electrochemical enzyme sensor strips for the measurement of blood glucose use an artificial electron mediator to transfer electrons from the active side of the enzyme to the electrode. One mediator recently gaining attention for commercial sensor strips is hexaammineruthenium(III) chloride. In this study, we investigate and compare the preference of enzyme electrodes...

A Disposable Electrochemical Glucose Sensor Using Catalytic Subunit of Novel Thermostable Glucose Dehydrogenase

We report here the development of a novel disposable-type glucose enzyme sensor based on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) employing a catalytic subunit of FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) and a Rucomplex (hexaammineruthenium (III) chloride) as the electron mediator. The whole blood glucose measurement was achieved in 2 seconds using a 500 nl sample of the range of 100-800 mg...

A disposable blood cyanide sensor.

Deaths due to smoke inhalation in fires are often due to poisoning by HCN. Rapid administration of antidotes can result in complete resuscitation of the patient but judicious dosing requires the knowledge of the level of cyanide exposure. Rapid sensitive means for blood cyanide quantitation are needed. Hydroxocyanocobinamide (OH(CN)Cbi) reacts with cyanide rapidly; this is accompanied by a larg...

Capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescent detection for luminol using potassium ferricyanide as a catalyst.

Electron-transfer mediator for a NAD-glucose dehydrogenase-based glucose sensor.

A new electron-transfer mediator, 5-[2,5-di (thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]-1,10-phenanthroline iron(III) chloride (FePhenTPy) oriented to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent-glucose dehydrogenase (NAD-GDH) system was synthesized through a Paal-Knorr condensation reaction. The structure of the mediator was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, proton and carbon nucle...
