Amperometric determination of bonded glucose with an MnO(2) and glucose oxidase bulk-modified screen-printed electrode using flow-injection analysis.

A screen-printed amperometric biosensor based on carbon ink double bulk-modified with MnO(2) as a mediator and glucose oxidase as a biocomponent was investigated for its ability to serve as a detector for bonded glucose in different compounds, such as cellobiose, saccharose, (-)-4-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside, as well as in beer samples by flow-injection analysis (FIA). The biosensor could be operated under physiological conditions (0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.

(Bio)sensors based on manganese dioxide-modified carbon substrates: retrospections, further improvements and applications.

An overview is presented which summarizes our accomplishment in the development of sensors and biosensors based on heterogenous carbon electrodes modified with manganese dioxide. Brief account of each sensor and biosensor has been given and example of real sample applications provided where appropriate.
