| dc.description.abstract | According to recent medical knowledge, diabetics still can keep in the normal daily routine via checking their blood glucose by the blood glucose meter and managing it by food control, exercise, taking the medicine or injection of insulin. These years, there are more and more blood glucose meter manufacturers in Taiwan because of booming diabetics and this potential market. The glucose test equipment uses the amperometric method which is to measure the current produced by a reaction from blood glucose and enzyme electrode specimen. Nowadays, most of the blood glucose test strips are made of screen printed carbon electrode, but the metal electrodes will have better performance than the screen printed carbon electrode after researches and experiments. So, many worldly renowned manufactures changed their test equipment in metal electrode.
This thesis is to propose the new metal electrodes with cheaper cost and better quality. This test equipment is based on producing metal electrode but we add a crucial procedure, printing varnish at adequate place which can reduce using gold, nickel and the production costs. In addition, we also checked the shape, surface by scanning electron microscope, peck of working current, range of driving voltage, aging test and optimized the equipment area. After all these analyzing, this new test equipment is confirmed to meet the standard rule ISO 15197-2013.
