A Mems Affinity Glucose Sensor Using Permittivity Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a MEMS affinity glucose sensor using permittivity measurements. This device employs a biocompatible glucose-specific polymer as the sensing solution. By introducing the polymer solution between two electrodes, the permittivity of the polymer solution can be measured from the capacitance changes induced by glucose binding. We characterize the frequency-dependent complex permittivity and the specificity of our device. This glucose sensor has potential use in implantable, stable, long-term, continuous glucose monitoring for diabetes management.

We present a microfabricated affinity sensor using permittivity measurement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This device is based on a perforated electrode separated from a bottom electrode on a substrate by a solution of a synthetic glucose-sensitive polymer. Glucose permeates through the perforated electrode and binds with the polymer, leading to a change in the polymer solution permi...
