20110312004 | TEST STRIP WITH MAGNETO-ELASTIC-RESONANCE SENSOR - A test meter system for testing a characteristic of a fluid, the test meter system including a test meter having a housing with an opening adapted to accept a test strip, an interrogation coil within the housing, a pick-up coil within the housing, and a test strip including at least one magneto-electronic-resonance sensor. When the test strip is within the opening, the interrogation coil may utilize magneto-electronic-resonance technology to interrogate the magneto-electronic-resonance sensor and the pick-up coil may be used to sense a resultant oscillation frequency of the magneto-electronic-resonance sensor, the resultant oscillation frequency associated with the characteristic. The test strip may include a plurality of sensors. The sensors may be coated with a coating sensitive to a characteristic of the fluid, where the interrogation reveals information about the fluid characteristic. | 12-22-2011 |
20120252046 | TRANSDERMAL SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS - A transdermal test sensor includes a test chamber including a liquid, a reagent system in contact with the liquid, a housing containing the liquid, and a semipermeable membrane. The housing includes an opening, the semipermeable membrane is connected to the housing and covers the opening, and the housing and the semipermeable membrane enclose the liquid and the reagent system. The transdermal test sensor also includes an analyzer in communication with the liquid. When porated tissue is contacted with the semipermeable membrane and sufficient time is allowed for a fluid sample to traverse the porated tissue and for an analyte in the fluid sample to enter the liquid in the transdermal sensor through the semipermeable membrane, a change in at least one optical property or at least one electrical property of the liquid is detected. The change detected is then correlated with the analyte concentration in the fluid sample. | 10-04-2012 |
