Membrane-coupled continuous sensing systems

Abstract

A device (100) for sensing a first analyte in a biofluid is provided. The device includes a microfluidic component (130) configured to transport a biofluid sample. The device further includes a sensing solution (142) containing one or more probes, wherein the one or more probes are configured to interact with a first analyte in the biofluid. The device further includes a sensor membrane (172) separating the sensing solution (142) from the microfluidic component (130), the sensor membrane (172) configured to allow transport of the first analyte from the microfluidic component to the sensing solution and prevent transport of the one or more probes out of the sensing solution. The device further includes a sensor configured to sense a reaction between the one or more probes and the first analyte in the sensing solution (142).
