Abstract
Gold nano-electrode ensembles were synthesized within nanoporous polycarbonate membranes and coupled with screen printed substrates. A disposable and versatile electrochemical system for biosensing and bio analytical applications has been obtained. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques were used to characterize the membrane surface, the nanostructured surfaces and the resulting biosensing devices. Efficiency and response of nano-probes were tested with several enzymatic immobilizations on the sensitive surface. Herein, the model case of a glucose oxidase biosensor based on nanoelectrodes is taken into account, for further evaluations on the accuracy of the biosensor system.
