Micro/nano-fabricated glucose sensors using single-walled carbon nanotubes

摘要

A novel glucose sensor utilizing hydrogen-specific gas sensing capability of single walled carbon nanotubes assembled on microelectrodes. Highly specific glucose sensing was demonstrated using buffered sample solutions with clinically significant concentrations. The approach enables a simple but powerful bio-sensor reliably operating with a completely new principle, and opens up novel device applications where functional nano-components can be integrated into a bioMEMS device.
