During the global economic development, there's a growing focus on healthcare, especially in the advancement of medical diagnostic technologies, with a significant emphasis on glucose level evaluation. Glucose biosensors, predominantly electrochemical, have evolved over four generations, with the first three being enzyme-based and known for sensitivity and cost-effectiveness, albeit with limitations due to environmental susceptibility and reliance on enzyme activity. Recent advancements in non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, utilizing optical, microwave, and electrochemical techniques, offer diverse benefits without tissue penetration. Among these, impedance sensing stands out due to its flexibility and integration capability in handheld devices. This study proposes a wireless passive impedance method leveraging the inductor-capacitor (LC) sensing technique and PCB (Printed Circuit Board)-based coplanar electrode (PCE) configuration for fluidic sample detection. The proposed system integrates a two-coplanar-electrode layout with a square spiral inductor to assess fluidic conductivity and characterize various fluid types within samples. The effectiveness of this configuration was validated through experiments with NaCl and glucose solutions, confirming the feasibility of integrating PCB-based coplanar electrodes into conventional LC passive wireless sensing designs for fluidic detection and characterization.
