Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a process of preparation of a biosensor comprising forming an electrode system mainly containing carbon on an insulating base plate, treating the surface of electrode system with an organic solvent, and then arranging a reaction layer on the electrode system to give a unified element; by which treatment with the organic solvent the surface of the electrode can be made even and cleaned, and the adhesion of the reaction layer onto the electrode surface can be improved, and then the exfoliation can be prevented, and the unevenness in each individual sensor can be easily minimized by increasing the evenness of the electrode surface at the production of sensor; and by treatment with the organic solvent an oxide film on the surface of the electrode can be removed so as to give a biosensor having a excellent responsibility and an ability of determination of the substrate concentration with high accuracy.
