Abstract:
1. A sensing device formed by a process, said process comprising: providing a protein matrix in a hardened state, said step of providing said protein matrix in said hardened state comprising: providing a sensor body having a cavity for receiving said protein matrix in said hardened state; and placing said protein matrix in said hardened state into said cavity of said sensor body; wherein said protein matrix in said hardened state is sufficiently immobilized prior to being placed within the cavity of the sensor body such that the protein matrix in said hardened state minimizes swelling that would deform a shape of the sensor body and such that the protein matrix in said hardened state minimizes shrinkage that would create voids between the protein matrix in said hardened state and the sensor body once the protein matrix in said hardened state has been placed within the cavity of the sensor body.
