Abstract
A sensor for detecting an analyte can include a photoluminescent nanostructure embedded in a sensor hydrogel. The sensor hydrogel can be supported by a substrate hydrogel.
Claims20
A sensor for detecting an analyte, comprising:
- a substrate hydrogel arranged on a support;
- a sensor hydrogel arranged on the substrate hydrogel;
- a photoluminescent nanostructure embedded in the sensor hydrogel;
- and
- an analyte-binding compound associated with the photoluminescent nanostructure.
2 more elements
A method of making a sensor for detecting an analyte, comprising:
- arranging a substrate hydrogel on a support;
- casting a sensor hydrogel from a sensor hydrogel precursor composition on the substrate hydrogel,
- wherein the sensor hydrogel precursor composition includes a photoluminescent nanostructure in the sensor hydrogel;
- and an analyte-binding compound associated with the photoluminescent nanostructure.
