摘要:
A potentiometric biosensor, test strip, reagent and a potentiometric method for detection or measurement of an analyte from a fluid sample. The biosensor includes indicating and reference electrodes, and a reagent, which overlays a portion of the surface of the indicating electrode. The reagent generally includes an enzyme and a redox mediator. When a fluid sample (e.g., blood) containing an analyte (e.g., glucose) is added to the reagent, the enzyme (e.g., glucose oxidase) catalyzes a reaction involving enzyme, redox mediator (e.g., potassium ferricyanide), and analyte.This reaction may be monitored by monitoring the electrical potential at the indicating electrode surface. (Electrical potential at the indicating electrode surface changes as the concentration of oxidized and reduced forms of the redox mediator change at the indicating electrode surface.) The inventive potentiometric biosensor measures the change in potential at the indicating electrode surface after the fluid sample containing the analyte is added to the reagent. The change in potential that occurs may be correlated to the detection or measurement of analyte in the fluid sample.
摘要:
A system for electronic correction and notification of discrepancies relating to automatic location identification information in a telephone environment comprising an initiating means for an operator to engage the system; a correction entry means for entering corrected information; and a dissemination means for disseminating the corrected information to recipients. The initiating means is connected with the telephone environment at an operator location having access to stored location identification information. The correction entry means is connected with the initiating means and includes an information entry means. The correction entry means responds to an initiation signal from the initiation means to receive correction information from the information entry means. The correction information is applied to update the stored location information at the operator location. The dissemination means is connected with the correction entry means, receives the correction information and disseminates the correction information to recipients. The method includes the steps of (a) receiving a call from a telephone user; (b) providing stored location identification information pertinent to the user using a computing device as displayed identification information; (c) an operator conferring with the user to verify accuracy of the displayed identification information; (d) if discrepancies are identified in the displayed identification information, the operator engaging a correction entry display with the computing device; (e) the operator entering correcting information in the correction entry display; (f) correcting the discrepancies using the correcting information; and (g) disseminating notice of the correcting to recipients.
