Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of electrochemical analysis and clinical chemistry. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel biological test strip and method for its preparation. Background technique
[0002] Currently available commercially available biological test strips, such as blood glucose test strips for testing blood glucose levels, are usually produced by mixing bioactive enzymes (such as glucose dehydrogenase or glucose oxidase) with carbon paste, and then using screen printing technology. Test strips based on carbon paste electrodes (often called thick film electrodes).
[0003] However, this carbon paste electrode has some disadvantages as follows. First, the amount of enzyme used in the electrodes is higher, thus increasing the cost of the biological test strip. Second, in the electrodes prepared by the screen-printing method, the electron transfer mediators are easily lost, thereby degrading the sensitivity, ...
