Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a component for use in a biosensing device for detecting one or more analytes, including: providing a transmitting member having a first end and a second end, the second end being configured for operably coupling to an information analyzer, wherein the transmitting member comprises at least a capillary tube having a lumen and an optical fiber, and wherein biosensing materials are applied to the transmitting member first end by injection of the biosensing materials to a capillary tube first end and through the lumen to a capillary tube second end; applying a biosensing element having one or more biosensing materials to the transmitting member first end; and applying a containment matrix to the transmitting member first end wherein the containment matrix substantially surrounds the biosensing materials and wherein the containment matrix is permeable to an analyte to be detected.
