Abstract
A glucose sensor was designed by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOD) in a conducting organic Langmuir-Blodgett film (LB). GOD-LB complexes were characterized by infrared absorption. The rate of change in the dc conductivity for GOD-LB complexes is ranging from â13.4 to 7.9% after immersion in 3Â ÃÂ 10â2Â mol/l glucose for 2Â min. GOD possibly absorbs in the LB films and maintains its bioactivity and sensitivity. The present technique with highly ordered conducting LB films is to be used as a suitable platform for immobilization of the enzyme for sensor architecture.
