Claim Text:
1. A device for determining an analyte, comprising: a first electrode and a second electrode, a sensor material in electrochemical communication with the first and the second electrodes, wherein resistance to current flow between the first and second electrode is affected by the sensor material; wherein the sensor material comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes and a polymer material integrally connected to at least a portion of the plurality of carbon nanotubes, such that the carbon nanotubes are substantially contained within the polymer material; wherein the sensor material comprises a binding site, the binding site comprising a transition metal complex; and wherein the analyte, if present, interacts with the sensor material to affect resistance to current flow between the first and second electrodes, thereby generating a signal in the device by which the analyte is determined.
