Abstract
One of the main problems of many biosensors is their intrinsic stability. I n some notable cases this has not been a drawback, allowing the successful commercialisation of glucose biosensors world-wide. However, the majority o f enzymes used in biosensors are labile and require stabilisation to produc e viable devices.
