20120199497 | ELECTROCHEMICAL-BASED ANALYTICAL TEST STRIP WITH DIFFUSION-CONTROLLING LAYER AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN ANALYTE USING SUCH AN TEST STRIP - An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes a substrate, at least one working electrode disposed on the substrate, a sample-soluble enzymatic reagent layer disposed above the working electrode, a diffusion-controlling layer (DCL) disposed between the at least one working electrode and the sample-soluble enzymatic reagent layer; and a sample-receiving chamber. In addition, the sample-soluble enzymatic reagent layer is configured and constituted for operable solubility in a bodily fluid sample applied to the electrochemical-based analytical test strip and received in the sample-receiving chamber and for electrochemical enzymatic reaction with an analyte in the bodily fluid sample. Moreover, the DCL is configured and constituted to provide a predetermined diffusion rate for a component (for example a mediator) of the electrochemical enzymatic reaction through the DCL that is less than the diffusion rate of the component through the bodily fluid sample and for operable hydration by the bodily fluid sample. A method for determining an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes applying a bodily fluid sample to an electrochemical-based analytical test strip that includes a substrate, at least one working electrode disposed on the substrate, a sample-soluble enzymatic reagent layer disposed above the working electrode, a DCL disposed between the at least one working electrode and the sample-soluble enzymatic reagent layer; and a sample-receiving chamber defined in the electrochemical-based analytical test strip. | 08-09-2012 |
20120199498 | ELECTROCHEMICAL-BASED ANALYTICAL TEST STRIP WITH GRADED ENZYMATIC REAGENT LAYER AND RELATED METHODS - An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes an electrically-insulating substrate, at least one working electrode disposed on the electrically-insulating substrate and a graded enzymatic reagent layer disposed on the at least one working electrode. The graded enzymatic reagent layer includes an upper reaction grade that contains an enzyme. The graded enzymatic layer also has a lower spacer grade devoid of the enzyme, the lower spacer grade disposed between the upper reaction grade and the working electrode such that the upper reaction grade is spaced equidistant from the working electrode by the lower spacer grade by a predetermined distance during use of the electrochemical-based analytical test strip. In addition, the upper reaction grade is configured and constituted such that an enzymatic reaction between the enzyme and a bodily fluid sample applied to the electrochemical-based analytical test strip is localized in the upper reaction grade and the lower spacer grade has predetermined mass transport characteristics for a component of the enzymatic reaction that cause mass transport of the component through the lower spacer grade to the working electrode to be slower than mass transport of the analyte through the bodily fluid sample to the upper reaction grade. A method for determining an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) includes applying a bodily fluid sample to such an electrochemical-based analytical test strip. | 08-09-2012 |
