Abstract

See full text

A hydrogel for an intravenous amperometric biosensor is formed on an electrode from a matrix of chitosan and a cross-linking agent, such as genipin to immobilize a reactive agent such as glucose oxidase. The matrix may also function as a rate-limiting layer to selectively control diffusion to the reactive agent. A method for forming the hydrogel on an electrode for immobilizing a reactive agent may include dissolving chitosan in an acidic solution, adding the reactive agent, applying solution to the electrode surface, curing the solution to a solid film, and immersing the same in a genipin buffer.
