Abstract
A water-miscible conductive ink for use in enzymatic electrochemical-based sensors includes a conductive material, an enzyme, a mediator and a binding agent. The conductive material, enzyme, mediator, and binding agent are formulated as a water-miscible aqueous-based dispersion wherein the binding agent becomes operatively water-insoluble upon drying.
