20100280184 | SURFACE FUNCTIONALISATION OF PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBRE - A process is provided for the covalent attachment of an indicator to a plastic optical fibre by functionalising the surface of the optical fibre to provide a polymerisable group, and polymerising an indicator monomer, optionally together with a hydrogel-forming monomer, to the fibre surface. This provides an optical fibre having covalently linked to its surface an indicator, typically an indicator encased in a hydrogel. The plastic optical fibre is useful as a sensor. | 11-04-2010 |
20110044576 | FIBRE OPTIC SENSOR - A fibre optic sensor for detecting or measuring the concentration of an analyte in a medium, the sensor having a sensing region ( | 02-24-2011 |
20120096918 | GLUCOSE SENSOR CALIBRATION - A method of calibrating a glucose sensor, which method comprises:
| 04-26-2012 |
20130083820 | Sensor Calibration - A method of calibrating a reversible-binding sensor for detecting an analyte includes:
| 04-04-2013 |
20130266478 | Calibrator For A Sensor - A calibrator, for calibrating a sensor, has a calibration chamber for containing a calibration liquid. The liquid comprises water or an aqueous solution of an analyte to be sensed. A hydrogen peroxide-quenching material is provided exposed to the interior of the calibration chamber. The hydrogen peroxide-quenching material contacts the calibration liquid. After the calibration chamber containing the calibration liquid is sterilized by irradiation with gamma radiation, the hydrogen peroxide-quenching material decomposes any hydrogen peroxide formed in the calibration liquid to avoid adverse effects on a sensor placed in contact with the calibration liquid. | 10-10-2013 |
20130344619 | GLUCOSE SENSOR - A method of quantifying the amount of glucose in a sample is provided herein that may further comprise an interferent such as mannitol. At least two measurements are obtained using measurement methods that differ in their sensitivity to the amount of interferent in the sample, thus enabling the results to be compared to determine whether any interferent is present in the sample. A glucose sensor for carrying out a method described herein is also provided | 12-26-2013 |
20140234982 | SENSOR - A sensor for detecting and/or quantifying the amount of analyte in a sample, the sensor including:
| 08-21-2014 |
20150196236 | Calibrator For A Sensor - A calibrator, for calibrating a sensor, has a calibration chamber for containing a calibration liquid.
