Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides analyte sensors including one or more NAD(P)-dependent enzymes and an internal supply of NAD(P) for the detection of an analyte. The present disclosure further provides methods of using such analyte sensors for detecting one or more analytes present in a biological sample of a subject, and methods of manufacturing said analyte sensors.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An analyte sensor comprising: (i) an internal supply of NAD(P); (ii) a permeable polymer that overcoats the internal supply of NAD(P); (iii) a first working electrode that is disposed upon the active surface of the permeable polymer, wherein the first working electrode is a permeable working electrode; (iv) an analyte-responsive active area disposed upon a surface of the first working electrode, wherein the analyte-responsive area comprises an NAD(P)-dependent enzyme; and (v) a mass transport limiting membrane that overcoats the analyte-responsive area, wherein the membrane is permeable to the analyte. 2. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , wherein the NAD(P)-dependent enzyme is an NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenase. 3. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , wherein the permeable working electrode comprises a carbon nanotube. 4. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , wherein the permeable polymer comprises a polyether-based polymer. 5. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , wherein the analyte is selected from the group consisting of glucose, a ketone, an alcohol, lactate and a combination thereof. 6. The analyte sensor of claim 5 , wherein the NAD(P)-dependent enzyme is a glucose dehydrogenase, a lactate dehydrogenase, an alcohol dehydrogenase, or a p-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. 7. The analyte sensor of claim 6 , wherein the analyte-responsive active area further comprises diaphorase. 8. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , wherein the analyte-responsive active area further comprises a redox mediator. 9. The analyte sensor of claim 1 , further comprising: (vi) a second working electrode; and (vii) a second active area disposed upon a surface of the second working electrode and responsive to a second analyte differing from the first analyte, wherein the second active area comprises at least one enzyme responsive to the second analyte; wherein a second portion of the mass transport limiting membrane of (v) overcoats the second active area. 10. A method for assaying concentration of a first analyte in a fluid comprising: (i) contacting the first active area of the analyte sensor of claim 1 with the fluid (ii) applying a potential to the first working electrode; (iii) obtaining a first signal at or above an oxidation-reduction potential of the first active area, the first signal being proportional to a concentration of the first analyte in the fluid contacting the first active area; and (iv) correlating the first signal to the concentration of the first analyte in the fluid. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the NAD(P)-dependent enzyme is an NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenase. 12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the permeable working electrode comprises a carbon nanotube. 13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the permeable polymer comprises a polyether-based polymer. 14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first analyte is selected from the group consisting of glucose, a ketone, an alcohol, lactate and a combination thereof. 15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the NAD(P)-dependent enzyme is a glucose dehydrogenase, a lactate dehydrogenase, an alcohol dehydrogenase, or a 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. 16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the analyte-responsive active area further comprises diaphorase. 17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the analyte-responsive active area further comprises a redox mediator. 18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the analyte sensor further comprises: (f) a second working electrode; and (g) a second active area disposed upon a surface of the second working electrode and responsive to a second analyte differing from the first analyte, wherein the second active area comprises at least one enzyme responsive to the second analyte; wherein a second portion of the mass transport limiting membrane of (v) overcoats the second active area.
