Novel micromachined silicon sensor is effective for continuous glucose monitoring
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, January 2nd, 2006
According to recent research published in the journal Biosensors & Bioelectronics, "The construction and the application properties of a micromachined silicon sensor for continuous glucose monitoring are presented. The sensor uses the conventional enzymatic conversion of glucose with amperometric detection of H2 O2 ."
G. Piechotta and colleagues working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology explained, "The innovation is the precise diffusion control of the analyte through a porous silicon membrane into a silicon etched cavity...
