Mems affinity sensor for continuous monitoring of analytes

Abstract

Techniques for monitoring a target analyte in a sample using a polymer capable of binding to the target analyte are disclosed. An implantable monitor useful for the disclosed techniques includes a microdevice coupled with a wireless interface. The wireless interface can comprise a capacitance digital converter coupled with the microdevice and can be adapted to produce a digital signal representing a measurement of the target analyte. A microcontroller can be coupled with the capacitance digital converter and a transponder can be coupled with the microcontroller to transmit the digital signal received from the capacitance digital converter to an external reader.
