Abstract

A novel glucose biosensor was constructed by using ferrocene-carbonyl-beta-cyclodextrin (FcCD) inclusive complex as electron-transfer mediator and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electron-transfer promoter. FcCD inclusive complex and glucose oxidase (GOx) were covalently bonded to CNTs by poly-l-lysine (PLL) to fabricate a glucose biosensor. The electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose at the biosensor occurred at low potential below 200 mV, avoiding the interference of the main interfering substances in real samples containing a 5-times higher concentration of l-cysteine, ascorbic acid, and uric acid. The biosensor showed fast response for glucose. A broad linear range of glucose concentration from 1.0 x 10(-5) to 2.90 x 10(-3) M was obtained and the detection limit was 2.2 x 10(-6) M.
