| Abstract | A simple paper-based optical biosensor for glucose monitoring was developed. As a glucose biosensing principle, a colorimetric glucose assay, using glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), was chosen. The enzymatic glucose assay was implanted on the analytical paper-based device, which is fabricated by the wax printing method. The fabricated device consists of two paper layers. The top layer has a sample loading zone and a detection zone, which are modified with enzymes and chromogens. The bottom layer contains a fluidic channel to convey the solution from the loading zone to the detection zone. Double- sided adhesive tape is used to attach these two layers. In this system, when a glucose solution is dropped onto the loading zone, the solution is transferred to the detection zone, which is modified with GOx, HRP, and chromogenic compounds through the connected fluidic channel. In the presence of GOx-generated H2O2, HRP converts chromogenic compounds into the final product exhibiting a blue color, inducing color change in the detection zone. To confirm the changes in signal intensity in the detection zone, the resulting image was registered by a digital camera from a smartphone. To minimize signal interference from external light, the experiment was performed in a specifically designed light-tight box, which was suited to the smartphone. By using the developed biosensing system, various concentrations of glucose samples (0-20 mM) and human serum (5-17 mM) were precisely analyzed within a few minutes. With the developed system, we could expand the applicability of a smartphone to bioanalytical health care. |
