This research introduces a biodegradable paper-based enzymatic biosensor for detecting glucose levels in intricate biological samples, such as cell lysates. This biosensor uses Prussian Blue (PB) as a mediator and glucose oxidase to detect glucose with excellent accuracy using direct electrochemical signals. Screen printing using Whatman filter paper produced a better biosensor than other substrates. The PB concentration of 12.5 mmol L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> was found to be optimal and resulted in an operating potential of −0.1 V, which helped decrease interference from other active substances and improved its selectivity. Calibration was found to be linear up to a concentration of 2 mmol L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> with a detection limit of 40 μmol L<small><sup>−1</sup></small> and a limit of quantification of 120 μmol L<small><sup>−1</sup></small>. Moreover, experiments performed on cell lysates obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) suggest the possible application of biosensors to measure glucose levels <em>in vitro</em> in both stimulated and unstimulated cells. This feature underscores its promise for use in monitoring metabolism and conducting diagnostic applications. The paper-based biosensor is an alternative to the current platform for the development of an eco-friendly, portable glucose-sensitive biosensor for point-of-care monitoring of glucose. Its flexibility and efficiency make it a strong candidate for use in the field of POC diagnostics, especially in areas of limited resources and in conditions where there is a problem with glucose dysregulation including diabetes and other related metabolic disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":64,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Methods","volume":" 12","pages":" 2529-2535"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/ay/d5ay00057b?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143456310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
