POF based glucose sensor incorporating grating wavelength fliters
Embedded sensor concept • Continuous glucose monitoring • Self administration of a bio- degradeable sensor with a needle based single use device • Potentially 14 days use time • Insensitive to bio-fouling • Potentially only one single calibration measurement required New sensor incorporating optical fiber
Competitive affinity assay Glucose Sensor Principle: • Based on competitaveaffinityassay • Sensor consist of assayenclosed in permeable memebrane. • AssayChemistry: • Glucose Receptor (Fluorophore labelled) (Donor) • Glucose Analog ( Dye labelled)(Acceptor) • Refrenceflourophore • Making Donor/Acceptor Pair for FRET (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer). • Low glucoseconcentration: more pairing of donor/acceptor. • Flouroscencequenching • High glucoseconcentration:Flouroscenceintensity • Sensor does not consume glucose and reversibly equilibrates with the surrounding tissue. • Sensor calibration is inherently insensitive to bio-fouling and therefore potentially only one single calibration measurement is required. • is based on a competitive affinity assay consisting of a glucose receptor and glucose analog (ligand) contained by a glucose permeable membrane. The glucose sensor does not consume glucose and reversibly equilibrates with the surrounding tissue. Consequently the sensor calibration is inherently insensitive to bio-fouling and therefore potentially only one single calibration measurement is required. The assay is labeled with a fluorophore and a corresponding dye, which together form a FRET pair (Förster Resonance Energy Transfer). The lifetime of the excited state as well as the intensity of the emitted fluorescence correlates with the glucose concentration. Fluorophore labelled glucose receptor Dye labelled glucose analog
