    Abstract:
    Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEM) microparticles were synthesized and glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized within the microparticles. An amperometric biosensor was fabricated using the microparticles with GOx as biological component. The enzyme immobilization method was optimized by investigating the influence of monomer concentration and cross-linker content used in the preparation of the microparticles in the response of the biosensor. The best analytical results were obtained with the microparticles prepared with 0.21 M PEGMEM and 0.74% cross-linking. Furthermore, we have investigated the influence on the biosensor behaviour of parameters such as working potential, pH, temperature and enzymatic load. In addition, analytical properties such as sensitivity, linear range, response time and detection limit were determined. The biosensor was used to determine glucose in human serum samples and to avoid common interferents present in human serum such as uric and ascorbic acids. A Nafion layer was deposited on the electrode surface with satisfactory results. The useful lifetime of the biosensor was at least 520 days.
