Abstract
The present disclosure relates to metal alloys for biosensors. An electrode is made from the metal alloy, which more specifically can be a nickel-based alloy. The alloy provides physical and electrical property advantages when compared with existing pure metal electrodes.
Claims18
A metal alloy comprised in a thin-film electrode of a biosensor for measuring an analyte in a biological fluid, the metal alloy of the electrode comprising:
- nickel;
- and
- a first alloying element, wherein the first alloying element is selected from the group consisting of:
- chromium, aluminum, gold, molybdenum, ruthenium, and tantalum.
