Production of enzymatic glucose biosensors

For this project, two types of glucose biosensors namely hydrogen peroxide- based glucose biosensor and mediated glucose biosensor have been developed. The performance of a glucose biosensor depends mostly on the immobilization method and support materials that are being used. For hydrogen peroxide...
