What Are the Types of Nanomaterial-Based Glucose Sensors?
There are several types of nanomaterial-based glucose sensors, including:
Enzyme-based sensors: These sensors utilize enzymes like glucose oxidase attached to nanomaterials to catalyze the oxidation of glucose, producing an electrical signal proportional to the glucose concentration. Non-enzymatic sensors: These sensors leverage the catalytic properties of nanomaterials themselves, such as metallic nanostructures, to directly oxidize glucose, offering higher stability and a wider detection range. Wearable sensors: Combining nanotechnology with flexible electronics, wearable glucose sensors can continuously monitor glucose levels in sweat, interstitial fluid, or blood, providing real-time data with minimal invasiveness.
