Abstract: A patient monitoring network pertaining to blood glucose and other analyte measurements includes wireless blood glucose or other analyte measuring devices and a networked computer or server. Each monitoring device is associated with a patient and is configured to measure the glucose level or other analyte from a given blood sample via inserted test strips, transmit the measurements to the networked computer, and display received messages. The blood glucose monitoring device includes means for substantially reducing factors that could affect the glucose measurement such as thermal and RF interference.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a non-enzymatic whole blood uric acid detecting electrode strip for use on whole blood, characterized by comprising the step of adding dropwise a reaction film formulation onto the electrochemical reaction zone wherein the formulation comprises an electron mediator, a water-soluble polymer carrier and a volatile organic solvent.

Abstract: A biosensor for detecting contents of biochemical components in a sample, comprising an electrically insulating substrate, a working electrode disposed on said substrate, a reference electrode disposed on said substrate, which is spaced from said working electrode, a reaction layer disposed on said working electrode and said reference electrode, wherein said reaction layer and said electrodes form a reaction area for reacting with the sample, an electrically insulating layer disposed on said substrate and having an opening for receiving the sample, wherein said opening exposes a portion of said reaction area and the end of said opening is located at the edge of the biosensor; and a reticular covering layer which covers said opening and the end of said opening of said insulating layer wherein said reticular layer and said insulting layer form a sampling area from said reticular covering area to the edge of said biosensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a test strip and a biosensor having an increased conductivity and a slurry comprising a fiber, meal particles having a size in nanometer and a bioactive substance. The invention is characterized by incorporating metal particles having size in nanometer into the reaction layer of test strip and biosensor to increase the conductivity between the reaction layer and the electrodes so that the redox reaction can be readily completed and the measurement time can thus be shortened.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-enzymatic disposable uric acid detecting electrode strip which directly detects the concentration of uric acid in liquid sample under a low operation voltage of below 400 mV and pH value from 7.0 to 10.0. When the electrode strip is applied to detect the concentration of uric acid in human body, it avoids interference signals caused from any other components in blood and will not be interfered by ascorbic acid unless the concentration of ascorbic acid increases to 15 times of its normal concentration in blood. Not only serum but also whole-blood can be taken as a sample for detecting the uric acid concentration thereof. The uric acid detecting electrode strip is modified by a water soluble redox electron mediator. The electrode strip is easy to carry and can be easily made, particularly mass-produced.
