Abstract

Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one type of electrode commonly used for electrochemical biosensor application. It is fabricated using a screen-printing method, a method in which conductive ink is piled up layer-by-layer using some screen frames. SPCE combines three main electrodes used in the electrochemical sensing method of biosensors: working electrode (WE), counter electrode (CE), and reference electrode (RE). In this study, screen-printed electrodes were made using a simple and affordable screen-printing method on three varied substrate materials: polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and FR-4 epoxy of a printed circuit board (PCB). The conductive inks used are silver ink (Ag) for the conductive path, carbon ink (C) for the WE and CE, and silver/silver chloride ink (Ag/AgCl) for the RE. A dielectric ink was also used to isolate the connective pad between the conductive path and the electrodes. The electrochemical performances of the fabricated electrodes were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) test in potassium ferricyanide solution. The tests resulted in characteristic duck-shaped cyclic voltammetry plots, which confirmed that the fabrication had been successfully conducted. The CV results were also compared among the SPCEs, based on the three substrate material variations used. The fabricated SPCE has the potential to be used for future biosensing application.
