Abstract

A flexible substrate electrochemical biosensor was successfully printed on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film with silver (Ag) electrodes using silver nanoparticle based ink. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) response of the printed sensor for detecting low concentrations of bio/chemical species revealed a very high sensitivity at pico molar (pM) concentration levels of D-Proline, Sarcosine, Cadmium sulphide (CdS) and Potassium chloride (KCl). The impedance response of the biosensor towards these species was analyzed and is reported in this paper.
