Electrochemical properties of screen-printed carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) with a glucose oxidase-immobilized and hexamineruthenium (III) chloride ([Ru(NH3)(6)](3+)) containing nitrocellulose (NC) strip were examined. The NC strip (2 x 8 mm) placed on the CPEs printed on polyester (PE) film is tightly sealed using another PE film on the top with open edges on both sides. Samples containing macromolecules and particles (e.g. proteins and blood cells) are applied at one edge of the NC strip and reach the detection area, chromatographically separating small molecules (e.g. glucose, ascorbate, acetaminophen, and uric acid) of analytical interests. Since sample volumes and the amount of catalytic reagents (mediator and glucose oxidase) are precisely predefined by the dimension and pore size (8 mum) of the NC strip, the sensor-to-sensor reproducibility and accuracy of analysis are greatly improved. The use of [Ru(NH3)(6)](3+) mediator, which exhibits characteristic substantially lowers the applied potential (0.0 V vs Ag/AgCl) for glucose determination and eliminates the interference from other oxidizable species, providing improved analytical results.
