  • Publication number: 20240402120
    Abstract: Analyte sensors responsive at low working electrode potentials may comprise an active area upon a surface of a working electrode, wherein the active area comprises a polymer, a redox mediator covalently bonded to the polymer, and at least one analyte-responsive enzyme covalently bonded to the polymer. A specific redox mediator responsive at low potential may have a structure of wherein G is a linking group covalently bonding the redox mediator to the polymer. A mass transport limiting membrane permeable to the analyte may overcoat the active area. In some sensor configurations, the mass transport limiting membrane may comprise a membrane polymer crosslinked with a branched crosslinker comprising three or more crosslinkable groups, such as polyethylene glycol tetraglycidyl ether.

  • Patent number: 12055512
    Abstract: Methods and analyte sensors including a sensor tail comprising at least a first working electrode and a second working electrode that are spaced apart from one another along a length of the sensor tail. A first active area is disposed upon a surface of the first working electrode and a second active area is disposed upon a surface of the second working electrode, the first active area and the second active area being responsive to different analytes. A mass transport limiting membrane is deposited upon the first active area and the second active area by sequential dip coating operations, and the mass transport limiting membrane comprises a bilayer membrane portion overcoating the first active area and a homogeneous membrane portion overcoating the second active area.
