The material of the workingelectrode 1 is selected from materials having good conductivity, such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, carbon, and the like. The material of thecounter electrode 2 is silver. The workingelectrode 1 and thecounter electrode 2 are formed on the surface of thesubstrate 6, the workingelectrode 1 and thecounter electrode 2 are connected with thepin 8 through thelead 7, and the electric signals of the workingelectrode 1 and thecounter electrode 2 are connected with an external testing device through thelead 7 and thepin 8, so as to obtain the current value generated by the sample when the surface of the workingelectrode 1 reacts. Theinsulating layer 3 covers the peripheral portions of the workingelectrode 1, thecounter electrode 2, and thepin 8 on thebase material 6, and exposes the workingelectrode 1, thecounter electrode 2, and thepin 8.

The oxygen permeable membrane containing ether group is a thermoplastic organic silicon polyether polyurethane oxygen permeable membrane, the oxygen permeable membrane containing no ether group is a thermoplastic organic silicon polycarbonate polyurethane oxygen permeable membrane, and the preparation steps of the three biosensors are as follows.
The preparation of the biosensor containing ether-based oxygen permeable membrane (thermoplastic silicone polyether polyurethane oxygen permeable membrane) comprises the following steps.
(1) Forming a gold layer on thebase material 6 by an electroplating or chemical plating method to be used as a workingelectrode 1, alead 7 and apin 8; a silver layer is formed on thebase 6 as thecounter electrode 2 by electroplating, electroless plating, or screen printing.
(2) The insulatinglayer 3 is formed by applying insulating ink to the peripheral portions of the workingelectrode 1, thecounter electrode 2 and thepin 8 on thebase material 6 by a screen printing method and drying. The insulating ink is selected from D2070423P5 Polymer Dielectric products of Gwent group company, UK, abbreviated as Gwent insulation.
(3) An electrolyte slurry is disposed and anelectrolyte layer 4 is formed. The preparation method of the electrolyte layer slurry comprises the following steps: potassium chloride was dissolved in deionized water to form an electrolyte solution with a potassium chloride concentration of 0.22M. 0.2M glycine and appropriate potassium hydroxide were added to the electrolyte solution as a buffer to bring the pH of the electrolyte solution to 8.4. 0.274g of sodium cellulose, 0.040g of cellulose and 0.363g of polyvinylpyrrolidone are dissolved in 36.2 g of deionized water and are stirred uniformly to be used as a solution of a film forming agent and a thickening agent. And (3) uniformly mixing 2.4g of electrolyte solution and 1.2g of film-forming agent and thickening agent solution to form electrolyte layer slurry, and finally adding surfactant Triton. Diluting Triton into 10% aqueous solution, adding 0.02g of the aqueous solution into the electrolyte slurry, uniformly mixing, and dropwise adding the mixture onto the surface of the workingelectrode 1 by using a liquid dropping machine. The electrolyte slurry covers the surface of the workingelectrode 1, and is dried by an oven to form anelectrolyte layer 4.
(4) 0.05g of thermoplastic silicone polyether polyurethane (selected fromPurSil 2080A UR TSPU products of DSM Biomedical B.V. company, TSPU2080A for short) is dissolved in 1.950g of isophorone, oxygen permeation membrane solution with the concentration of 2.5% is formed, a liquid dispenser is used for dropwise adding the oxygen permeation membrane solution on theelectrolyte layer 4, and the oxygen permeation membrane is formed through drying of an oven, so that the biosensor containing the TSPU2080A oxygen permeation membrane is prepared.
The preparation of a biosensor without an ether-based oxygen permeable membrane (thermoplastic silicone polycarbonate polyurethane oxygen permeable membrane) included the following steps.
Steps (1), (2) and (3) are the same as steps (1), (2) and (3) of the biosensor containing the TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membrane. And (4): 0.05g of thermoplastic organosilicon polycarbonate polyurethane (selected from CarboSil 20 90A UR TSPCU of DSM biomedicalal B.V. company, TSPCU2090 for short) is dissolved in 1.950g of N, N-dimethylacetamide to form an oxygen-permeable membrane solution with the concentration of 2.5%, the oxygen-permeable membrane solution is dripped on theelectrolyte layer 4 by using a liquid dripping machine, and an oxygen-permeable membrane is formed by drying in an oven, so that the biosensor containing the TSPCU2090 oxygen-permeable membrane is prepared.
The preparation of the oxygen-permeable membrane-free biosensor comprises the following steps.
The biosensor without the oxygen permeable membrane is prepared through the steps (1), (2) and (3) of the biosensor with the TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membrane.
The prepared biosensors containing the TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membrane, the TSPCU2090 oxygen permeable membrane and the oxygen-free membrane are connected with an external test device to respectively test 5 sample solutions with different oxygen partial pressure values, the biosensors generate current signals which are in linear relation with the oxygen partial pressure values of the samples, and the external test device reads the current values. Each sample was tested 4 times and the average of the current levels was taken. The standard value of the oxygen partial pressure of 5 sample solutions was measured by an ABL80 blood gas analyzer of Leber, denmark. The fitted curves of the three biosensors were plotted with the oxygen partial pressure measured by the ABL80 analyzer as the horizontal axis and the current average value measured by the test apparatus as the vertical axis, and the obtained data are shown in table 1 and fig. 4. The negative sign in the current and the slope only represents the current direction, and the comparison of the slopes refers to the comparison of the absolute values of the current and the slope.
TABLE 1
The data result of example 1 shows that the electrode slope of the biosensor containing the ether-based oxygen permeable membrane (TSPU 2080A oxygen permeable membrane) is the largest and is-0.0088, which is obviously larger than the electrode slope of the biosensor containing the TSPCU2090 oxygen permeable membrane and the oxygen-free oxygen permeable membrane, and the CV value of the biosensor containing the TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membrane is the smallest and is 5.4%, which has better precision. From this, it is found that when the oxygen permeable membrane material of the biosensor contains an ether group, the efficiency of the electrode can be significantly increased and the sensor accuracy is better.
Example 2 biosensor containing different concentrations of TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membranes
In this example 2, biosensors including TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membranes with different concentrations were prepared, the preparation steps were the same as those of the biosensors including TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membranes in example 1, and only the masses of TSPU2080A and isophorone in step (4) were changed to make the concentrations of the oxygen permeable membranes 0.8%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 4.0%, and 6.0%, respectively. The fitting curves of the biosensors containing the TSPU2080A oxygen permeable membranes with different concentrations are drawn according to the method of the fitting curve of the current value and the oxygen partial pressure value in the example 1, and the results are shown in the table 2 and the figure 5.
