Commercial test strips use glucose oxidases as recognition agents, which increases the cost and reduces the durability of test strips. To lower the cost of glucose sensors, we developed a paper-based electrical sensor with molecularly imprinted glucose recognition sites and demonstrated the determination of various glucose concentrations in bovine blood solutions. The sensing electrode is integrated with molecular recognition sites in the conductive polymer. A calibration graph as a function of glucose concentration in aqueous solution was acquired and matched with a correlation coefficient of 0.989. We also demonstrated the determination of the added glucose concentrations ranging from 2.2 to 11.1 mM in bovine blood samples with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.984. This non-enzymatic glucose sensor has the potential to reduce the health care cost of test strips as well as make glucose sensor test strips more accessible to underserved communities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20041098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]],"date-time":"2020-02-20T03:20:03Z","timestamp":1582168803000},"page":"1098","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["A Low-Cost Paper Glucose Sensor with Molecularly Imprinted Polyaniline Electrode"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zheyuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"}]},{"given":"Onder","family":"Dincel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8160-7239","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ting-Yen","family":"Chi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Kameoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Texas A&amp;M University, College Station, TX 77840, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2002).
