摘要： A method of detecting at least one analyte in extra-cellular spaces includes the step of inserting a microprobe through the stratum corneum toward the stratum basale of the skin of a subject into extra-cellular spaces containing interstitial fluid having at least one analyte to be detected, said microprobe having a diameter at its tip no larger than approximately 10-50 microns. The method further includes optically testing for a predetermined analyte in the extra-cellular space adjacent the distal end of the microprobe without drawing a sample of the interstitial fluid. Preferably the microprobe body includes a sensor layer covering the distal optical tip of the microprobe body, the sensor layer being adapted to interact with a predetermined analyte to be detected in the interstitial fluid, and an optical detector responsive to interaction of the sensor layer with the predetermined analyte to signal detection of said predetermined analyte.

摘要： An instrument for optically measuring at least one property of a test medium, includes a light source for emission of light, a light management unit for guiding the light onto and/or into and through a detection space in the test medium, a light detection unit for detecting a fraction of the light scattered, reflected or transmitted by the test medium, a power management unit, and a data management unit. The instrument further includes or is coupled to a power source via a source wiring. The power management unit distributes energy from the power source via a buffer wiring to the light source, and via a further wiring to the light detection unit and the data management unit. The data management unit exchanges measurement data via signal wiring with the light detection unit with a receiving unit. The instrument is adapted to be operated in a potentially hazardous environment.
