A novel glucose sensor base on an osmium-complex modified polypyrrole was prepared and evaluated. Four new-type osmium-complexes ([Os(bpy)2(py(4)-bpy)]2+/3+, [Os(bpy)2(py(3)-bpy)]2+/3+, [Os(bpy)2(pyro-pri)Cl]+/2+, and [Os(bpy)2(vi-bpy)]2+/3+) were synthesized, and the kinetic parameters analyzed. A hydrophilic redox polymer with an osmium-complex was modified by electrolytic copolymerization on the surface of a platinum electrode. The effects of the polymer concentration, times of the scan, dissolved oxygen, and concomitant compounds, and a calibration curve for measurements of glucose were analyzed. The catalytic currents of synthesized osmium-complexes were observed. The relationship between glucose and the oxidation current was examined using the sensor under the optimum conditions. A linear relationship was obtained over the range of 0.9∼100 mmol dm-3 glucose. It was measured in the presence of ascorbic acid or uric acid. These compounds did not affect the response current. The lifetime of the sensor was also examined. The analytical values were constant for 9 days when the sensor was stored in a pH 7.07 phosphate buffer solution at 4°C.
