Project Overview
The dual-electrode glutamine sensor project aims to develop an accurate, reliable electrochemical sensor for measuring glutamine in blood samples. This sensor addresses a critical challenge in glutamine detection: interference from glutamate, a structurally similar amino acid often present in biological fluids.
By employing a differential measurement approach with two working electrodes, the sensor can effectively eliminate glutamate interference and provide accurate glutamine measurements in complex biological matrices.
Key Innovations
Dual-Electrode Design
Two working electrodes on a single substrate enable differential measurement to eliminate glutamate interference.
Nanomaterial Enhancement
Carbon nanotubes and copper oxide nanoparticles improve sensitivity and electron transfer.
Enzyme Immobilization
Optimized cross-linking techniques for stable enzyme layers with high activity retention.
Selective Membranes
Multi-layer membrane system for interference rejection and anti-fouling properties.
Applications
Accurate glutamine measurement has important applications in:
- Clinical diagnostics and patient monitoring
- Sports and exercise science
- Cell culture media monitoring
- Nutritional status assessment
- Metabolic disorder research
