A novel glucose sensor was fabricated using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) tech
nique with a phospholipid analogous vinyl polymer, 2-[2-methacryloyloxy)eth
yldimethyl-ammonium]ethyl-5 beta-cholesten-3-yl phosphate polymer (PCP). Th
e ordered monolayers of PCP were easily prepared at the interface of air-aq
ueous solution containing glucose oxidase (GOD), and could be transferred o
nto the platinum wire electrode. The response current for the observed elec
trode was constant for 50 days, after an initial change of signal over the
first few days. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
