A conventional amperometric glucose sensor requires two electrodes, one of which is a counter electrode and the other one is a working electrode, and a glucose oxidase enzyme (GOD) is present at the working electrode. It is fixed. The principle of this sensor is that the glucose concentration can be determined by quantifying the electrode detection substance generated on the working electrode accompanying the reaction between glucose and GOD.

By the way, as one form of the glucose sensor, one having a needle-like structure can be mentioned. In the conventional amperometry type glucose sensor, these two electrodes are formed by arranging flat plates such as glass plates in parallel. A typical example is a needle-shaped electrode that is easily inserted into a living body and can be suitably used for measuring a blood glucose level and the like, and has not yet been put into practical use. It is considered that this is due to the difficulty of manufacturing and the immobilization of the enzyme due to the shape itself.

When immobilizing GOD on the working electrode, a film-forming material,
For example, celluloses such as cellulose acetate, synthetic polymeric substances such as polyvinyl butyral and polysulfone, or natural polymeric substances such as cellulose, chitin, albumin, sodium alginate, agarose and carrageenan are used and dissolved in a soluble solvent. After prepared as a dope solution, it is applied on the working electrode surface by a dipping method, a drop method, a spinner method, or the like. As the film-forming material, a water-soluble photocrosslinkable polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol having a photosensitive group such as a stilbazolium group or a diazo group in the molecule as a photocrosslinkable group can also be used as an aqueous solution.

The immobilization is carried out by a commonly used method such as a covalent bond method using glutaraldehyde, carbodiimide, etc., an ionic bond method, an adsorption method, a cross-linking method and the like. Alternatively, GOD is mixed in a solution of the film forming material,
It is also possible to immobilize by these immobilization methods at the time of film formation. In this case, when a photocrosslinkable polymer is used, its photocrosslinking is at a wavelength of about 3 which does not deactivate GOD.
It is performed by light irradiation with near ultraviolet rays of 50 to 450 nm.
