A format for a disposable screen-printed biosensor was investigated for monitoring formaldehyde. The screen-printed sensor format comprised a working electrode (WE) modified with platinised carbon, a new lipophilic tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) salt as mediator, a plasticised polyurethane membrane (TECOFLEX SG80, PU)
