Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biosensors, and in particular relates to a continuous glucose monitoring sensor based on a one-dimensional titanium dioxide material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), often referred to as "dynamic glucose monitoring," is a technology that continuously monitors blood glucose concentrations. It uses a glucose sensor to measure glucose concentrations in the interstitial fluid beneath the skin, indirectly reflecting blood glucose levels. CGM is designed to provide continuous, comprehensive, and reliable blood glucose information throughout the day, detect asymptomatic hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and help understand the trends and patterns of blood glucose fluctuations.

[0003] The CGM system consists of a sensor, a transmitter, and a receiver. The sensor continuously monitors glucose levels in the interstitial fluid of the subcutaneous tissue via a microprobe implanted in the subcutaneous tissue. The transmitter then wirelessly transmits the blood glucose data to an information receiver, such as a system-specific mobile app.

[0004] Existing second-generation glucose sensors rely on artificial mediators (such as ferrocene derivatives) to transfer electrons, which have problems such as easy loss of mediators, poor stability and insufficient detection range. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a continuous glucose monitoring sensor based on one-dimensional titanium dioxide material and a preparation method thereof, so as to improve the sensing performance of the existing CGMS, prevent the loss of sensor medium, improve stability, and expand the detection range.

[0006] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a continuous glucose monitoring sensor based on one-dimensional titanium dioxide material, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Furthermore, the GOx immobilization method includes: dispersing 8-12 mg of one-dimensional titanium dioxide material in 1-2 mL of GOx solution, shaking at room temperature for 0.5-1 hour, and letting the solution stand at 3-5°C overnight to form a Gox-TiO2 material.

[0014] Furthermore, the electrode preparation method includes: using polylactic acid as a raw material using a 3D printer, setting the nozzle temperature to 200-220°C, the platform temperature to 50-70°C, the layer height to 0.03-0.07mm and the printing speed to 15-25mm / s to prepare a microneedle array, ultrasonically cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and treating with ultraviolet ozone, spin coating a 3-7% PMMA chlorobenzene solution at 2000-4000rpm using a sizing machine to form an insulating layer, and curing on a hot plate at 70-90°C; then using a magnetron sputtering instrument to form a 5×10 -6 Three thin films of Cr, Pt, and Ag were deposited sequentially under a Torr background vacuum. After the electrode pattern was defined by photolithography, the Ag layer in the working electrode and counter electrode areas was removed by wet etching with a 1:10 nitric acid solution for 20-40 seconds, exposing the Pt counter electrode.
