Abstract

An integrated ultra micro glutamate sensor has been constructed with a 7 μm diameter platinized carbon-fiber disk (PCD) electrode and a platinum thin-film (PTF) counter electrode fabricated on the glass capillary tube. By platinization, the electrode activity of the carbon fiber is improved. In order to obtain a stable response, a pulse potential is applied for hydrogen peroxide measurement. The PTF counter electrode shows good stability and can be used as a substitute for a silver-silver chloride electrode. Since the integrated PCD electrode shows good characteristics as a hydrogen peroxide sensor, glutamate oxidase is immobilized onto the tip of the PCD electrode to construct the ultra micro glutamate sensor. The sensor shows stable response to glutamate and a response time within 12 s. The calibration range for glutamate measurement is 50-800 μM.
