Problems in Adapting a Glucose-Oxidase Electrochemical Sensor into an Implantable Glucose-Sensing Device

Abstract

Taking into account the analytic patterns of different types of glucose-oxidase electrochemical sensors, the specific problems which have to be solved for such a sensor to be implantable are outlined. Of particular interest is the lifetime of enzymatic membrane and the dependence of the sensor responses to oxygen concentration and hydrodynamics.
