Abstract: An integral interstitial fluid sensor for application to the skin of a person or an animal for the detection of chemical components of tissue fluid is disclosed. The fluid sensor comprises a substrate of a porous material for the passage of the interstitial fluid therethrough. At least two electrodes are provided. One of the electrodes has two sides, with one side mounted on the substrate. The electrode is also of a porous material and permits the passage of the interstitial fluid from one side through to the second side which is generally opposite the one side. A layer of chemical is on the second side. The layer of chemical comprises a chemical for reaction with one component of the fluid, mixed in a mediating agent. The electrodes generate an electrical signal upon the detection of the reaction of the one component of the fluid with the chemical. The electrical signal is received by a detector and a display is generated, indicating the amount of the one component detected. Finally, a pump for sucking the fluid from the skin into the sensor is disclosed.

Abstract: A sensor for gaseous and vaporous species is disclosed. The sensor comprises an electrically insulated substrate which contains small pores passing completely through it. Electrodes consisting of metallic or semiconductor material are deposited onto the top surface of the substrate. In a first embodiment of the invention, an electrolyte is placed on the top surface of the substrate in such a manner as to create a gas or vapor permeable electrolyte layer on top of the electrodes. In a second embodiment of the invention, the electrolyte is applied to the bottom surface of the substrate and seeps up through the porous holes of the substrate until it makes contact with the electrodes. Both embodiments result in a gas sensor with a response time dependent upon the gas flow rate rather than the time required for the gas to be dissolved in the electrolyte layer and be detected.

Abstract: An optical immunosensing device for detecting the presence of an analyte in a liquid sample is fabricated by coating iron phosphate onto a silicon substrate and then etching the iron phosphate layer to obtain steps of varying thickness. Then, a first mip, capable of immunological reaction with the analyte, is immobilized on the iron phosphate steps. In the preferred embodiment, the first mip is chemically bound to the iron phosphate step surface. The presence of the analyte in the liquid sample is detected by visually observing color changes in the steps after contact of the detection zone with the liquid sample. A change in step color is related to increased thickness which can only result from the binding of the analyte to the first mip immobilized on the iron phosphate step. Aluminum phosphate can also be added to the iron phosphate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a sensor for the direct and continuous measurement of the electrochemical properties of compounds in a high resistivity liquid. The sensor has a housing which includes a porous hydrophilic membrane which may be made of a ceramic, and contains an electrolytic solution. The membrane permits the passage of a portion of the electrolytic solution into the pores thereby facilitating the formation of an interface between the electrolytic solution and the high resistivity liquid and allowing extraction of the compounds in the high resistivity liquid into the electrolytic solution. A porous sensing electrode is positioned directly on the membrane for detecting and measuring the concentration of the compounds extracted from the high resistivity fluid.
