  • Publication number: 20240423511
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for depositing a therapeutic agent onto analyte sensors (e.g., to reduce signal inaccuracies or in vivo sensor failure, e.g., due to foreign body response (FBR)). In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a process for coating (e.g., dip coating) analyte sensors with therapeutic agent-containing polymer compositions to obtain analyte sensors that include a therapeutic agent. The present disclosure further relates to sharps coated with a therapeutic agent.

  • Publication number: 20170276685
    Abstract: An analyte measurement system is provided having sensors with embossed test chamber channels. In one embodiment, the sensors are elongate test strips for in vitro testing, each test strip having a substrate, at least one electrode, an embossed channel in the electrode, and lidding tape covering at least a portion of the embossed channel. Methods of manufacture are also disclosed for filling the sensor channels with reagent, and for trimming the ends of the sensors to eliminate the need for a calibration code during use of the sensors with a meter.

  • Patent number: 7905999
    Abstract: A biosensor strip having a low profile for reducing the volume of liquid sample needed to perform an assay. In one embodiment, the biosensor strip comprises an electrode support; an electrode arrangement on said electrode support; a cover; a sample flow channel; and an incompressible element placed between said cover and said electrode support, the incompressible element providing an opening in at least one side or in the distal end of said sample flow channel to provide at least one vent in said sample flow channel. In another embodiment, the biosensor strip comprises an electrode support; an electrode arrangement on said electrode support; a cover; and a sample flow channel, the cover having a plurality of openings formed therein, at least one of the openings in register with said sample flow channel. The invention further includes methods for preparing such a biosensor strips in a continuous manner.
