Development of a Biosensor for the Detection of Glucose Levels in Saliva Based on the Oxidation and Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

This work presents the experimental results of cyclic voltammetry tests that correlate an electric current and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide within a controlled solution. As the concentration of hydrogen peroxide increases in the managed solution, so does the electric intensity. The goal of this data allows us to corroborate that the proposed biosensor is a reproducible and potential alternative, painless, and non-invasive method for monitoring glucose levels in patients who have diabetes. The transducer is a novel Ni Polycarbonate Track Etch nanowire sensor with a high sensitivity to detect low hydrogen peroxide in human fluids.
