Team develops novel chemical glucose sensing method based on boronic acids and graphene foam

Researchers at the University of Bath, working in collaboration with industrial partner Integrated Graphene, have developed, for the detection of glucose levels in the blood, a new sensing technique based on graphene foam. Since it is a chemical sensor instead of being enzyme-based, the new technology is robust, has a long shelf-life and can be tuned to detect lower glucose concentrations than current systems.
