Non-enzymatic dextrose sensors for dialysis

Abstract

In some examples, a sensor for detecting dextrose includes at least one working electrode including Cu and being configured to electro-oxidize dextrose in an aqueous solution. The sensor further includes at least one counter electrode. In some examples, a system includes a fluid line, a dextrose container, a peritoneal dialysis container, and the sensor. The fluid line is configured to transport water. The dextrose container is configured to introduce dextrose in the fluid line to generate a peritoneal dialysis composition comprising the water and dextrose. The peritoneal dialysis container is downstream of the dextrose container and configured to receive the peritoneal dialysis composition. The sensor may be configured to detect dextrose in the peritoneal dialysis composition.
