Abstract

Glucose oxidase (GOx) is used as an immobilized
enzyme in blood glucose level sensors. Conventional single used
sensors are fabricated by screen printing enzyme suspensions
or pastes, or photolithography method to immobilize the
enzyme onto carbon black electrodes. There is considerable
interest in producing sensor structures of smaller dimensions
than are readily achievable through these techniques. One
technology that may be able to deliver enzyme-based sensors
with smaller length scales is inkjet printing. Inkjet printing is
capable of accurately placing picolitre volumes of liquids onto
a substrate, making it an ideal technology that could be used
within the medical sensor field. GOx solution in PBS is printed
by a drop-on-demand piezoelectric printer, the retained
activity of GOx before and after printing demonstrates that
inkjet printing is a practical technique to fabricate cheap,
small, and reproducible biosensors.
