Abstract
Devices are presented for measurement of an analyte concentration. The devices comprise: a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a concentration of an analyte; and a sensing membrane located over the sensor. The sensing membrane comprises an enzyme domain comprising an enzyme, a base polymer, and a hydrophilic polymer which makes up from about 5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of the enzyme domain.
Claims21
A device for measurement of a concentration of an analyte the device comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of the concentration of the analyte;
- and
- a sensing membrane located over the sensor, the sensing membrane comprising:
- an enzyme domain comprising:
- an enzyme,
- an enzyme stabilizing reagent comprising from 10 wt. % to 50 wt. % of the enzyme wt. % in the enzyme domain,
- a base polymer, and
- a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the hydrophilic polymer comprises from 5 wt. % to 30 wt. % of the enzyme domain, and
- a diffusion resistance domain located more distal to the sensor than the enzyme domain,
- wherein the enzyme stabilizing reagent is selected from the group consisting of cocamidopropyl betaine, oleamidopropyl betaine, lauryl sulfobetaine, myristyl sulfobetaine, betaine (trimethylglycine), octyl betaine, phosphatidylcholine, glycine betaine, poly(carboxybetaine)(pCB), poly(sulfobetaine) (pSB), and precursors or derivatives thereof.
