A method to fabricate electrodes for biosensors using commercial ink-jet printer was developed. An inkjet printer was operated by a personal computer with a graphical software in order that each ink of cyan, yellow and black did not mixed with other inks at the printing area. Two elongated rectangles were printed with silver nano-particle suspension on a thin tracing paper and heated in an oven to acquire conductivity. One of these Ag electrodes was chloridized to form a Ag/AgCl reference electrode. It was suggested that biosensors with other materials including enzymes can be fabricated using ink-jet printing similarly.
