Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for minimally-invasive and continuous analyte monitoring for closed-loop applications, such as drug delivery. In some aspects, a multi-modal microneedle sensing platform for continuous minimally-invasive orthogonal electrochemical monitoring of levodopa (L-Dopa) is disclosed, which uses parallel simultaneous independent enzymatic-amperometric and non-enzymatic voltammetric detection of L-Dopa using different microneedles on the same sensor array patch.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for providing test strip electrochemical sensors for rapid quantitative analysis of analytes in physiological fluids. In one aspect, an electrochemical sensor includes a substrate; an electrode contingent including a first electrode having a coating of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a second electrode on the substrate; and an entrapment layer formed on the first electrode to attach an enzymatic substance capable of causing a redox reaction in the presence of a target analyte of a fluid sample which produces a redox-active product, in which the entrapment layer is structured to include a conductive polymer film that is reversibly dopable to conduct charge carriers across the entrapment layer and at the first electrode. For example, the electrochemical sensor can be provided on a disposable test strip to quantify L-DOPA levels in whole blood, plasma, or serum samples.
