Biosensor and manufacturing method of biosensor

1. A method of manufacturing a biosensor, comprising:

forming a capillary interposed between a spacer and a cover;

forming a plurality of electrodes including a working electrode on an insulating base plate;

forming an insulation layer partially covering the working electrode and comprising an opening exposing a part of the working electrode wherein the opening has a circular planar shape and a connected inner wall; and

forming, in the opening of the insulation layer on the working electrode, a detection layer containing an enzyme for exchanging electrons with the working electrode, a crosslinking agent and an electrically conductive polymer and having a contact area with the working electrode defined by a predetermined area, wherein the predetermined area is determined based on a reaction rate of the enzyme,

wherein the electrically conductive polymer is not conjugated to the crosslinking agent.

2. The method of manufacturing a biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the detection layer on the working electrode includes application of a material for the detection layer to the working electrode.

3. The method for manufacturing a biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive polymer is polyaniline that is not conjugated to the crosslinking agent.

4. The method for manufacturing a biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein the enzyme includes cytochrome-containing glucose dehydrogenase.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the enzyme is surrounded by polyaniline.

6. The method for manufacturing a biosensor according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking agent comprises an agent selected from the group consisting of 2,2′-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-methylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-ethylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-trimethylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-tetramethylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-hexamethylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-octamethylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-ethylene-bis-(4,4′-dimethyl-2-oxazoline), 2,2′-p-phenylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-m-phenylene-bis-(2-oxazoline), 2,2′-m-phenylene-bis-(4,4′-dimethyl-2-oxazoline), bis-(2-oxazolinylcyclohexane)sulfide, bis-(2-oxazolinylnorbornane)sulfide, 2-vinyl-2-oxazoline, 2-vinyl-4-methyl-2-oxazoline, 2-vinyl-5-methyl-2-oxazoline, 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline, 2-isopropenyl-4-methyl-2-oxazoline, and 2-isopropenyl-5-ethyl-2-oxazoline.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the opening exposes only the part of the working electrode.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the opening does not expose the insulating base plate.
