  1. Biosensor Microelectrodes Guido Drago Applied Enzyme Technology Ltd

  2. Company History • Applied Enzyme Technology Ltd formed in 1994 • Smart Awards 1994 & 1995 protein stabilisation technology • Patents for dry stabilisation fully granted in 1995 and 1996 • Patent for solution stabilisation fully granted in 2000 • AET acquired by LRH Ltd. and relocated June 2001 • BIOWISE Demonstrator Award 2003 • SIF Award 2009 • Multiple EU, TSB, Home Office & DEFRA Grants

  3. Products & Services • Contract research for the stabilisation of specific proteins • Supply Protein Stabilisation Kits for stability troubleshooting • Supply of bulk stabiliser formulations • Supply pre-stabilised enzymes • Design and develop biosensors • Carry out prototype & contract manufacture of low volume sensors • Production of our own environmental & agrifood sensors

  4. TSB SENSACELL-TOX PROJECT TASKS • Stabilise GOX and LOX in a water based carbon ink • Print microelectrode structures < 500 Micron • Incorporate glucose and lactate biosensors on the final chip

  5. Microelectrode Design 500 micron 7mm

  6. Screen Printed Microelectrodes

  7. Schematic of Oxidase Biosensor

  8. Water Based GOX Ink Amperogram obtained using glucose biosensors in stirred solution. Arrows correspond to 70 µl additions of 50 mM glucose to 10 ml supporting electrolyte.

  9. GOX Ink Stability Glucose calibrations carried out on GOX/carbon ink stored for up to 215 days at room temperature

  10. Electrode Stability Water based GOX electrodes printed and stored at 4oC. Electrodes tested using 2mM glucose additions

  11. Lactate Biosensor Effect of sterilisation via gamma irradiation on GOX response

  12. (A) (B) Fig.5. (A) amperogram and (B) calibration plot for L-lactate in culture medium using a microband biosensor at 37oC. Lactate Biosensor

  13. Lactate Biosensor Lactate calibration carried out on sensors stored for 28 days at RT

  14. A + cells - cells Cell Measurements Glucose Lactate

  15. Stencil Printing Electroformed apertures Positive advantage since no threads to reduce open area. Stencils provided by Tecan Ltd. Results from HIPER-ACT EU Project

  16. Stencil Printing Vertical print stroke 20 micron stencil

  17. Ink Jet Printing

  18. Conclusions • Stabilised GOX in the carbon ink for 215 days at room temperature • Stabilised the LOX in carbon ink for 28 days at room temperature • Successfully proved that the electrode performance was not effected • by gamma irradiation sterilisation technique • Successfully printed structures < 500micron square • onto final device chips • Final devices tested on cell media

  19. SENSACELL-TOX PARTNERS Funded by the Technology Strategy Board
