Quantitative evaluation of blood glucose concentration using impedance sensing devices

Abstract

This paper reports on the impedimetric investigation of glucose concentrations present in the human blood by using impedance sensing devices with different working electrode areas. It is evident from the experiment that, the impedance value increases with the increase of glucose concentration in blood and the trend follows in all the devices with various electrode areas. The measured complex admittance plot shows two semicircles which are due to double layer and coating capacitances respectively. Lower values of relative standard deviation in impedance data infer the reproducibility of these devices. A quantitative relation-ship, developed between the impedance and glucose concentration establishes a positive correlation between the blood glucose values and impedance.
