ABSTRACT
A kind of saliva glucose detector based on electrochemistry is designed to measure the saliva glucose of diabetes mellitus, so as to achieve non-invasive measurement for diabetes mellitus state. A Prussian blue modified glassy carbon electrode was designed as the working electrode of the three-electrode system to improve the electrode sensitivity to H2O2's electrochemical reaction in a lower voltage. A three-electrode system was employed for measuring the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction of glucose catalyzed by glucose oxidase. Technique of shield-driving was used to avoid the attenuation of the voltage when it was processed, so as to ensure the precision measurement. A single chip microcomputer, C8051F020, was used to control the system and provide scanning voltage for the electrode, make A/D transition and process the result. Then the outputs were displayed on liquid crystal display. This detector's operating voltage was 0.496 V. The sensitivity was 0.1 mmol/L. There was a constant of proportionality between the measuring results of this detector and the precise analysator, Lanbiao LK98B. Results of the study show that this detector has low operating voltage, high sensitivity and good function of whole system, and can meet the request of measure.
