Fabrication and ex vivo evaluation of activated carbon-Pt microparticle based glutamate biosensor.

ABSTRACT: As one of the most abundant neurotransmitters in the brain and the spinal cord, glutamate plays many important roles in the nervous system. Precise information about the level of glutamate in the extracellular space of living brain tissue may provide new insights on fundamental understanding of the role of glutamate in neurological disorders as well as neurophysiological phenomena. Electrochemical sensor has emerged as a promising solution that can satisfy the requirement for highly reliable and continuous monitoring method with good spatiotemporal resolution for characterization of extracellular glutamate concentration. Recently, we published a method to create a simple printable glutamate biosensor using platinum nanoparticles. In this work, we introduce an even simpler and lower cost co
