Applications

• In vivo long-term monitoring of glucose in tissues or animals

Long-term glucose measurement in vivo is complex and difficult. Prior measurement techniques could only be used for brief studies or, at most, a few days. Using patented technology, WPI introduces a novel type of implantable glucose sensor. Researchers can use this sensor to directly monitor glucose in long-term in vitro or in vivo experiments. The sensor works great with the TBR systems from WPI.

A coil at the sensor's tip contains the cotton plug that has been drenched with enzymes. The coiled tip has a diameter of around 600 μm.
