Abstract: Amperometric mediated biosensor for glucose has been developed by using aqueous Nafion to immobilize glucose oxidase on Nafion-TTFmodlfied glassy carbon. It is further coated by Nafion, a perfluorosulphonated ion-exchange polymer. Nafion coating is not detrimental to the enzyme but to forestall electrochemically active anionic interferences such as ascorbate and urate from reaching the electrode.The polymer coating also avoids tetrathiafulvalene's leaking and keeps the biosensor from fouling agents. For the first time it has been experimentally proved that both TTF+ and TTF2+ can oxidise FADH2 of glucose oxidase. The biosensor responds rapidly to glucose in less than20 seconds and it's calibration curve is linear from 3.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-2 mol/L.
