Summary
Electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous KCl solution containing glucose oxidase produces adherent films at platinum electrode surface. Such coated electrodes are prepared in 20 min and can determine glucose in the range 0 to 100mm. The useful lifetime of the electrode is 85 assays. Its stability is at least 75 days under storage in PBS at 4°C.
