摘要:
There is provided the reagent layer composition that can substantially reduce the measurement bias arising from hematocrits. The addition of fatty acid (4-20 carbons) and quaternary ammonium salt to a commonly used reagent layer composition composed of an enzyme, an electron transfer mediator, and several water soluble polymers not only reduce the hematocrit level-dependent bias but also provide very stable performance for an extended period of time. Disclosed are also various types of sub microliter sample volume electrochemical biosensors that are suitable to use with the reagent layer composition of present invention.

摘要:
A biosensor, for use in measurement of an analyte, includes a microporous membrane support, a first electrode system, a second electrode system, and a pair of insulating films. The first electrode system is formed on the surface of the microporous membrane support and the second electrode system is formed on the opposite surface of the microporous membrane support. The biosensor enables a rapid, simple, separation-free, and selective detection of the analytes. The biosensor does not require any bulky additional electrode, so that miniaturization, point-of-car testing, and disposability can be achieved.

Disclosed herein is a dual blood glucose meter. The dual blood glucose meter includes a meter body, a measurement strip, a variety of electronic parts and upper and lower strip receiving ports. The meter body is provided with a liquid crystal display panel on the front thereof to display measured numerical values and various pieces of pictorial information. The measurement strip is brought into contact with blood at a blood collection spot so as to measure blood glucose of the blood. The electronic parts are used to measure the blood glucose of the blood. The upper and lower strip receiving ports are formed at upper and lower ends of the meter body to receive the measurement strip, and are each electrically connected to the electric parts.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a measuring device which comprises electrodes fabricated on porous membrane substrate in which the sample migrates chromatographically; and the method of quantifying material in the sample by using the device. The sample material for measuring can be quantified by the measuring device of this invention, which is consists pretreatment bands in the lower part of porous membrane substrate and electrodes in the upper prt of pretreatment bands, by the procedure as foolows: The sample material for measuring is chromatographically migrated in the porous membrane substrate by applying the sample on the lower part of the porous membrane substrate; and then the changes of electric signal by the material at the electrode are measured to quantify the material. The analyzing method using the measuring device of this invention has merits that no additional preparation of the sample is needed, simple analyzing process, quantitative analysis of the material in a short time, and the economical efficiency because of the dispensability of skilled personnel due to easy manipulation.
摘要:
A polyimide matrix is employed to form a substance-sensitive membrane which is particularly suited for installation on a solid state sensor. Polyimide, dissolved in a solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (polyimide encapsulant), is combined with an ionophore, plasticizer, and a lipophilic additive. The ionophore may be a calcium ionophore, an ammonium ionophore, or any other ionophore. The membrane may also incorporate, or may be covered by, a bioactive agent, such as an enzyme, an immunochemical, bacteria, antibody, virus, or antigen. The plasticizer is one or both of dimethyl phthalate and diethylene glycol dibenzoate. The lipophilic additive may be potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate. The resulting substance-sensitive membrane has electrochemical properties which compare favorably to those of conventional PVC membranes, and exhibit significantly greater adhesion to glasses and semiconductor substrate materials. The improved adhesion may prolong the life of the sensors and prevent the formation of electrolyte shunts which have been known to render solid state sensors inoperative.

A silicone matrix is employed to form a substance-sensitive membrane which is particularly suited for installation on a solid state sensor. The ionophore may be a potassium ionophore, an ammonium ionophore or any other ionophore. The membrane may be coupled to the molecule of interest through a bioactive agent, such as an enzyme, an immunochemical, bacteria, antibody, virus, or antigen. The resulting substance-sensitive membrane has electrochemical properties which compare favorably to those of conventional PVC membranes, and exhibit significantly greater adhesion to glasses and semiconductor substrate materials. The improved adhesion will prolong the life of the sensors and prevent the formation of electrolyte shunts which have been known to render solid state sensors inoperative.
