5 Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious disease, and, with its complications, is the fourth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. Its causes are unknown, and there is no cure. Testing: A Crucial Tool Blood tests, done by pricking the finger for a drop of blood, are recommended by most doctors because they give the exact amount of blood sugar at any given moment. There are an estimated 14 million diabetics in the U.S. It is recommended to test blood glucose levels at least 4 times daily. Market of 56 millions disposable tests per day!!

6 Amperometric Blood Glucose Monitors
An example of a test is the use of the immobilised enzyme glucose oxidase, which releases electrons on interaction with glucose. A sensor of this type could detect the level of glucose in the blood.

7 Glucose Biosensors Glucose + O2 Gluconic acid + H2O2
Glucose + mediator(ox) Gluconic acid + mediator(red)

8 What is an electronic tongue?
Taste cell Nerve cell Taste compounds Electric responses Brain Taste reception Biological taste system Artificial liquid system - electronic tongue Sensor responses Computer array Pattern recognition Y. Vlasov, A. Legin, A. Rudnitskaya, Anal. Bioanal. Chem. 2002, 373, 136.

9 Fuel Cells: Energy Supply of the Future?

10 Principle of our membrane-less implantable bio-fuel cell

11 Green white paper an environmental challenge
Bleaching is necessary to obtain bright white paper Strong oxidant chemicals are used Chlorinated: Cl2 (not anymore), ClO2 Non-chlorinated: O2, O3, H2O2 Proposed alternative: oxidation of the pulp by an enzyme (laccase) or electrode and a mediator

12 Mediated delignification
O2  H2O 4e- Electrode O R e- Electrode

13 Electrochemical delignification
Mediator ox Lignin Lignin ox Electrode Counter (RVC 20ppi) Dialysis membrane to isolate counter from working Counter electrode casing (nalgene walls and nylon screen) Working electrode & casing Flow cell (interior covered with teflon)
