Researchers 3D print stable and sensitive glucose monitoring biosensor

The team hopes this method of biosensor manufacturing will allow for long-term, non-invasive and cost effective method for glucose monitoring, specifically tailored to individual diabetes patients. A team of researchers at Washington State University (WA, USA) has successfully 3D printed a glucose biosensor for use in wearable monitors, with hopes to improve glucose monitors for millions of people who suffer from diabetes worldwide. In printing biosensors capable of monitoring glucose levels non-invasively, the team hopes to combat issues associated with constant finger pricking or the alternative (and expensive) constant glucose monitoring system. In recent years, the medical 3D printing world...
