Electroanalytical experiments in teaching laboratories have traditionally relied on introducing classical polarography to the instrumental analysis laboratory. More modern experiments have been proposed to introduce advanced techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry or stripping analysis. Little attention, however, is given to the field of chemical sensors, despite the growing importance of these devices in real-life applications. In this article we introduce students to modern biosensor technology, and in paticular to disposable screen-printed glucose strips.
