Abstract

Herein, we report an enzyme-based electrochemical biosensor composed of screen-printed electrodes on a polyimide film for detecting ethanol in skin gas. The linear range and sensitivity were 50 to 150 ppb and 344 mA cm−2 ppb−1, respectively. On-body testing showed that skin gas ethanol increased from 1500 s onwards after alcohol consumption.
