Abstract:
Biosensors and biosensor systems are disclosed that have manganese (III) oxide (Mn2O3)-based electrodes that can attenuate interference of a detection signal resulting from an analyte-relevant reaction caused by undesired reaction of interferents in a sample. Methods are also disclosed for making and using the same.
Abstract:
An in vivo amperometric sensor is provided for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a body fluid. The sensor comprises a counter electrode and a working electrode, and the working electrode comprises a sensing layer which is generally water permeable and arranged on a support member adjacent to a contact pad. The sensing layer comprises an immobilized enzyme capable of acting catalytically in the presence of the analyte to cause an electrical signal. The sensing layer has an upper surface facing the body fluid and a lower surface facing away from the body fluid, and the immobilized enzyme is distributed within the sensing layer in such a way that the enzyme concentration in the middle between the upper and lower surfaces is at least as high as on the upper surface of the sensing layer.
Abstract:
An electrode system is disclosed for measuring a concentration or presence of an analyte under in-vivo conditions, where the electrode system includes at least one electrode with immobilized enzyme molecules and an improved diffusion barrier that controls diffusion of the analyte from body fluid surrounding the electrode system to the enzyme molecules. The diffusion barrier includes a hydrophilic polyurethane or a block copolymer having at least one hydrophilic block and at least one hydrophobic block. The electrode system also can include a spacer membrane that includes a hydrophilic copolymer of acrylic and/or methacrylic monomers.
