Abstract
Our work on redox mediators and their application in amperometric biosensors was reviewed at the last workshop in 1987, which coincided with the commercial launch of the ExacTech™ pen-sized glucose sensor. The microbial activity monitor, enzyme electrode for in situ fermentation monitoring and amperometric immunoassay reported in the 1987 paper have also since been commercialised by different companies. The 1st workshop triggered important collaborative relationships which led, for example, to the very successful EC Concerted Action on Chemical Sensors for in vivo Monitoring. This contribution will briefly review the above developments. Attention will then be focussed on recent work at Cranfield on modified enzyme electrodes with applications in medicine, the food industry an in environmental monitoring. Three themes will be explored: fabrication, continuous operation and application in harsh or novel environments.
