Abstract

Abstract: A microwave ring resonator based glucose detecting biosensor incorporating glucose oxidase enzyme is presented. Sensor uses a split ring resonator as a transducer, where the sensing operation is done by the observation of shifts in its resonant frequency. Resonator was fabricated with basic fabrication techniques and the enzyme was immobilized via conductive polymer agent PEDOT:PSS. Experimentally observed redshift of resonant frequency of the sensor in response to different loading conditions are in agreement with simulation results and theoretical expectations. Sensor selectivity is confirmed with control experiments conducted with NaCl solutions. Experiments done with different glucose solution concentrations yielded a sensor sensitivity of 0.174MHz/mgml -1 .
