MICRO/NANO-FABRICATED GLUCOSE SENSORS USING SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES

摘要

A novel glucose sensor (10) utilizing hydrogen-specific gas sensing capability of single walled carbon nanotubes (22) assembled on microelectrodes (16). 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.
