Abstract

This work addresses the development of a compact paper-based enzymatic microfluidic glu-cose/O2 fuel cell that can operate using a very limited sample volume (≈ 35 μl) and explores the ener-gy generated by glucose at concentrations typically found in blood samples at physiological condi-tions (pH 7.4). The fuel cell delivered a linear power output response, from 2.5 mM to 30 mM glucose, with power densities ranging from 20 to 90 μW cm-2. The quantification of the electrical power and the en-ergy density extracted from small synthetic samples allows planning potential uses of this energy to power different systems at in-vitro applications.
