US 2022/0273240 A1 · NEEDLE SENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Abstract

A sensor for facilitating analysis of biological specimens in vivo includes a base having first and second ends, a rigid needle that extends away from the first end for piercing skin, the needle having a tip including at least a first conductive layer forming a first electrode, a second conductive layer forming a second electrode, and a first insulating layer between and electrically insulating the first and second conductive layers from one another, and at least first and second electrical contacts at or near the second end of the base. The first electrical contact is in electrical communication with the first electrode, the second electrical contact is in electrical communication with the second electrode, and the first and second electrical contacts are electrically insulated from one another.
