Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Analyte sensors having antioxidant protection are disclosed. By combining antioxidant and/or scavenger agents into polymer matrices that contain sensor moieties, the sensor moieties are protected from reactive oxygen species. Also disclosed are methods of making analyte sensors and methods of inhibiting oxidative degradation of sensing components in hydrated, polymerized analyte sensor systems.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An analyte sensor, comprising an equilibrium fluorescence indicator system and at least one antioxidant, wherein each of the equilibrium fluorescence indicator system and the at least one antioxidant are immobilized within a polymer matrix, wherein said equilibrium fluorescence indicator system comprises a fluorophore operably coupled to a glucose binding moiety functionalized with boronic acid, wherein the equilibrium fluorescence indicator system provides a…
