Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The introduction of the first glucose biosensor arose several decades ago, and since then, several improvements have occurred. Glucose biosensors have been applied to clinical and alimentary fields. In the clinical field, their use began with blood and urine glucose monitoring in diabetic patients. Nowadays, glucose monitoring has been extended to ISF, tears, saliva, as well as human perspiration. Glucose monitoring has been essential to control and prevent diabetes complications, improving quality healthcare.

Throughout the development of glucose biosensors, different materials, nanomaterials, mediators, substrates, and enzymes, have been employed. The progress of biosensors has grown together with technological innovations, and currently, minimally invasive and non-invasive glucose biosensors can be found on the market.

Improvement is the goal of several research groups; for this Special Issue, we hope to collect papers that contribute to the field of advancing glucose biosensors, with original contributions full papers, communications, and review articles in the following areas:

  • Electrochemical glucose biosensors; 
  • Optical glucose biosensors;
  • Wearable glucose biosensors;
  • Strip glucose biosensors;
  • Saliva glucose biosensors;
  • Tears glucose biosensors; 
  • ISF glucose biosensors;
  • Glucose continuos monitoring;
  • Glucose biomediacal aplications.

The present work describes the synthesis of an electroactive nanocomposite consisting of carbon black (CB) and polyaniline (PANI) obtained by in situ oxidative polymerization. Monomer P1 was used as a polyaniline precursor. P1 has surfactant properties that allow obtaining core–shell structures dispersed in an aqueous medium. The nanocomposite, together with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an electrocatalytic element, was used to modify the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for glucose detection. Electroactive areas were calculated using the Randles–Sevick equation. The results showed that the CB-PANI.1-1/AgNP nanocomposite exhibited a larger electroactive surface area (0.3451 cm2) compared to AgNP alone (0.0973 cm2) or the CB-PANI.1-1 composite (0.2989 cm2). Characterization of CB-PANI.1-1/AgNP, by cyclic voltammetry in the presence of glucose, showed a new oxidation peak with a maximum current close to 0.7 V due to the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone. The amperometry test at 0.7 V showed a linear response with R2 of 0.999 as a function of the analyte concentration. The glucose sensor presented a linear detection range of 1 to 10 mM, a sensitivity of 41 µA mM−1 cm−2, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 520 µM. Full article

An electrochemical biosensor based on the immobilization of glucose oxidase into an electropolymerized p-coumaric acid membrane on a Pt electrode has been developed and evaluated for glucose detection in the range of 1 to 30 mM. The glucose biosensor exhibits a sensitivity of 36.96 mA/mMcm2, a LOD of 0.66 mM, and a LOQ of 2.18 mM. The biosensing membrane was electropolymerized by cyclic voltammetry in 100 mM phosphates pH 7.00 and 3% ethanol containing glucose oxidase and p-coumaric acid. The glucose biosensors’ stability, repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity were estimated. The biosensing membrane shows permselective properties and antifouling effects. The applicability of the developed glucose biosensor was evaluated in the presence of 20 mg/mL proteins, and any signal associated with biofouling was observed. The glucose biosensors were employed for the determination of the glucose concentration in three commercial beverages. Full article
