Claim Text:
1. A multi-phase analyte insensitive electrode (AIE) for use in an electrochemical sensing device for measuring an analyte in a sample, the AIE comprising (a) an electrolytic layer; (b) an electrically conductive component electrically connected to the electrolytic layer; (c) a redox active material capable of being at least one of electrically oxidized and electrically reduced, the redox active material being dispersed in at least one of the electrolytic layer and the conductive component, the redox active material being selected from the group consisting of n-butyl-ferrocene, silver nanoparticle-coated glassy carbon, ferrocene, polylvinylferrocene, NiHCF, ferrocene styrene copolymers, ferrocene styrene cross-linked copolymers, Ni Cyclam, and K (d) a conductive physical barrier positioned so that it is interposed between the electrolytic layer and a sample when the electrode is in contact with the sample, and that physically separates the electrolytic layer from the sample.
