Abstract
A device utilizing biosensors to enable rapid electrochemical sensing of one or more analytes in a container. The device comprises a holder which incorporates at least one reference electrode and at least one sensing electrode. The sensing electrode comprising an electrically conductive substrate which is coated in a first layer of a suitable electron acceptor and subsequently with a second layer incorporating a biorecognition molecule adsorbed or within a suitable electropolymer matrix or carrier.
Claims20
A device for a container or support, where the container or support is capable of or adapted for receiving a biological sample for use in rapid electrochemical sensing of one or more analytes using biosensors,
- wherein the device forms at least part of a closure for the container or support and the device comprises a holder for holding at least one sensing electrode and at least one reference electrode, the or each sensing electrode and the or each reference electrode being held and protruding from a sample receiving surface of the holder, and
- where the or each sensing electrode comprises an electrically conductive substrate comprising platinum, platinum alloy, gold, gold alloy, or carbon, with a first layer on the substrate comprising an electron acceptor, and a second layer comprising a biorecognition molecule adsorbed or within an electropolymer matrix or carrier.
