Abstract
The proton sensitive azlactone derivative; 4-[(p-N,N-dimethylamino)benzylidene]-2-phenyloxazole-5-one (DPO) exhibits high quantum yield, excellent photostability, and high molar absorptivity in a sol-gel matrix. In this work, two different DPO containing constructions were tested and evaluated as glucose sensors. In the first, both glucose oxidase (GOx) and azlactone derivative were incorporated into a single tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) based sol-gel phase. In the second, TEOS and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTEOS) containing dye-doped sol-gel layer was covered with GOx entrapped sol-gel (the two-layer configuration). The monolayer configuration has the fastest response time (Ï90Â =Â 20Â s) but suffers from leaching upon prolonged use. Response time and dynamic working range of the cross-linking agent containing two-layer configuration are 40Â s and 0.1-15Â mM glucose, respectively. The resulting glucose sensor was characterized by high sensitivity, low interference from acidogenic species, and a working lifetime of at least 90 days.
