Abstract:
A method for making a dry sensor element for an enzymatic determination of an analyte in a body fluid includes providing a substrate, producing a working electrode on the substrate, producing a counter electrode on the substrate, and producing electric connectors on the substrate connected to the working electrode and the counter electrode, the step of producing the working electrode further comprising depositing an active enzymatic electrode layer containing an enzyme and a catalyzer material for catalyzing an enzymatic determination of an analyte of a body fluid, the catalyzer material comprising at least one of metal nano-particles and metal oxide nano-particles. A dry sensor element for an enzymatic determination of an analyte in a body fluid is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A sensor device for detecting at least one analyte in a fluid, in particular in a body fluid, is disclosed. The sensor device includes at least one closed detector chamber and at least one electrical sensor having at least one sensor electrode. The detector chamber can be connected to the fluid in such a way that the analyte can penetrate into the detector chamber. The detector chamber includes at least one detector substance. The detector substance is designed to influence at least one electrical property of the electrical sensor, in particular at least one electrical property of the sensor electrode, depending on a concentration of the analyte in the detector chamber.
