  • Patent number: 5700360
    Abstract: An elastomer, especially a fluoropolymeric elastomer, meets requirements necessary for use as a gasket in contact with primary membranes of electrochemical sensors of both blood gas and ionic species in blood. The elastomer can electrochemically seal an electrode of a diced chip (sensor) from a sample chamber, and can electrochemically seal electrodes of neighboring diced chips from each other. Significant simplicity in fabrication of multi-sensor analyzers and stopped-flow method using such analyzers is realized.
