Abstract
A method of making and an amperometric electrode are provided. An electrode carbon ink is applied to a polymer substrate to form a working electrode. The substrate carrying the working electrode is placed in a gas plasma cleaner, such as an oxygen or nitrogen plasma, to clean the working electrode. A high radio frequency signal excites the gas plasma for a short exposure time in a range between 10 seconds and 30 seconds. Then a reagent layer is deposited to the plasma treated working electrode.
