Development of a ZIF-8/LIG-based electrochemical biosensor for accurate and reliable glucose monitoring in blood
摘要
Harnessing the exceptional enzyme immobilization capabilities of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and the exceptional electrochemical characteristics of graphene, we designed a highly efficient and cost-effective glucose sensor utilizing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and laser-induced graphene (LIG) with the aid of mediator ferrocene (Fc). By incorporating a cellulose acetate (CA) film as an anti-interference layer and a polyurethane (PU) film as a diffusion-limiting layer, the sensor exhibited a wide linear detection range for glucose (0.62 mM to 20 mM) with a low detection limit of 0.16 mM (S/N = 3). Notably, it demonstrated excellent selectivity, with no interference from common biological substances. The sensor also exhibited good stability, retaining 96.38% of its initial performance after 7 days of storage. Additionally, the sensor was effectively utilized for glucose detection in whole blood, with results closely matching those obtained from a commercial blood gas analyzer (GEM5000), as evidenced by a high Pearson's correlation coefficient (r = 0.9974). This method provides a portable glucose sensor that produces results highly consistent with those obtained from large-scale testing devices in hospitals, enabling convenient and accurate blood glucose monitoring for patients.
