The glucose and oxygen can be catalyzed by the glucose oxidase to produce the gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Because the ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) possesses the excellent conductivity and catalytic characteristic, it can be Ⅱ
used to elevate the responding current for detection of reduction of hydrogen peroxide. A study was conducted to use the ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) to modify the screen printed planar electrode which was used as the working electrode Ⅱ
to detect the responding current of reduction of hydrogen peroxide in the PBS buffer solution( pH = 7.4 )and the sensitivity of detection of hydrogen peroxide was determined from the responding current and consequently, the concentration
of the glucose could be determined. The results showed that the responding current for the carbon paste electrode modified with the ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) was elevated significantly. At 30 , -0.2V operating potential, and in 0.05 Ⅱ ℃

Introduction :
At present, there is no effective method and medicine to cure the diabetes. The concentration
of the blood sugar for diabetic can only be controlled by insulin. The traditional routine
examination must be performed by the medical examiners in the hospitals and the examination
usually requires using the expensive instruments. Also this kind of examination requires high
expense and professional manipulation. Therefore, developing a rapid, convenient, and
economical glucose biosensor for detecting the glucose is an important research subject.
Abstract:
CONCLUSIONS The results showed that the responding current for the carbon paste electrode modified with the
ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) was elevated significantly. The optimum weight ratio for rutheniuⅡm hexacyanoferrate ( ) : graphite carbon powders was 3 : 7 . At 30 , -0.2V operating potential, Ⅱ ℃and in 0.05 M PBS buffer solution( pH = 7.4 ), when the screen printed planar electrode was modified with the ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) [ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) : graphite carbon powⅡ Ⅱders = 3 : 7 ( weight ratio )] , the detection limit was 0.02 mM H2O2 , the linear range was 0.02~ 0.96 mM H2O2, R2=0.917, and the sensitivity was 28.77 μA/cm2 ּmM H2O2 . For the glucose screen printed planar sensor, the detection limit was 0.02 mM C6H12O6 ; the linear range was 0.02 ~ 2.24 mM C6H
12O6 ; R2 = 0.9983 and the sensitivity was 12.19 μA/cm2 mM C6H12O6 . REFERENCES1. S. J. Updike and G. P. Hicks, “The Enzyme Electrode,” Nature, 214, 986, (1967).2. R. Garjonyte and A.

Preparation of the Screen Printed Planar Electrode :
The above mentioned mixture with the appropriate ratio (ruthenium hexacyanoferrate( ) : graⅡphite carbon powders : carbon paste = 0.3 : 0.7 : 1) was evenly coated on the front side of screen plate and then the PE paper was placed under the screen plate and the plastic plate was used to print the mixture on the PE paper evenly. The electrode was dried in the oven and then we obtained the screen printed planar hydrogen peroxide electrode. After the screen printed planar hydrogen peroxide electrode was dried, the 2μL glucose oxidase solution( 3mg of glucose oxidase was dissolved in 500μL PBS buffer solution ) was put onto the screen printed planar hydrogen peroxide electrode and the electrode was dried at room temperature. Then 5μL of 1% Nafion solution(in 95% alcohol) was dropped onto the electrode evenly and after the electrode was dried at room temperature, we obtained the screen printed planar glucose electrode.
