| 20090252649 | Apparatus for body fluid analysis using surface-textured optical materials - A variety of characteristics of body fluid may be measured by introducing a sample to a textured surface on optical material such as waveguides and sheets. The textured surface presents a field of elongated projections which are spaced apart to exclude certain components of the body fluid sample from entering into the spaces between the projections, while permitting other parts of the body fluid sample which contains the analyte to enter into those spaces. The analyte contacts a chemistry on the surface which is sensitive to the analyte, whereupon the analyte and the analyte-sensitive chemistry interact in a manner that is optically detectable. The optical material is packaged in suitable structures such as elongated cylinders, flat test strips, and sheets. A structure containing the optical material is mounted on a detector, which both illuminates the optical material and detects and analyzes the light that returns from the textured surface. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20110097755 | Apparatus and Method for Optically Sensing Analyte Concentration in an Erythrocyte-Containing Fluid - A device for determination of analytes has optical material with a deposit on a surface thereof. The deposit includes an analyte-reactive reagent and a particulate material for enhancing reflectance of a light beam emitted through the optical material into the analyte-reactive reagent.

A suitable particulate material is one of hollow spherical particles. Moreover, the particulate material may be selected for a property such as a neutralizing charge that suppresses the membrane-disruptive effects of certain types of optical materials and hemolytic reagents on blood cells such as erythrocytes. | 04-28-2011 |
