Sensor Detection Process

Copper oxide is immobilized on the working electrode as reaction catalyst.

Glucose contained within the patient saliva diffuses towards the immobilized copper oxide.

Copper oxide catalyses glucose molecules into glucolactone under a predefined applied voltage.

Free electrons are produced by this reaction as a by-product, proportional to the catalysed glucose molecules.

The free electrons are collected by the counter electrode and read by the instrumentation in the form of electric current.

Electrochemical Biosensor Technology

Our technology is novel, and it is the first of its kind to be able to measure glucose in saliva with such high accuracy via 3-electrode amperometry.

Mass-Manufactured

In traditional glucose strip technology, they are manufactured by screen-printing on paper, resulting in lower surface quality from ours at a comparable mass-manufacturing cost.

Extreme Sensitivity

For the first time globally we are employing inorganic catalysts to achieve this level of extreme sensitivity down to a 1μM limit of detection.

Low-Cost

Our strips are mass-manufactured via flexible Printed Circuit Board technology, guaranteeing the low cost of the basic hardware.
