Abstract:
1. A glucose sensor for measuring a glucose concentration in a host, the sensor comprising: a first electrode comprising a first electroactive portion, wherein the first electrode is a working electrode; a second electrode comprising a second electroactive portion, wherein the second electrode is a reference electrode, wherein the second electrode is not in contact with a first domain; a membrane system located over at least one of the first electroactive portion or the second electroactive portion, the membrane system comprising: wherein the sensor comprises an ex vivo portion and an in vivo portion, wherein the ex vivo portion is configured to reside outside a body of the host during glucose sensing, wherein the in vivo portion is configured to be in contact with host tissue during glucose sensing and measure a glucose concentration within the host tissue for a time period, and wherein the time period is from about one day to about 14 days.
