Clinically Useful Biosensor Membrane Development

This paper will begin with a conventional definition of a biosensor and the author’s definition of clinically useful. To help define clinically useful, there is a brief discussion of performance specifications and system compatibility. Next there is a description of the function of biosensor membranes and membrane types. Membrane attributes as they pertain to sensor non-linearity is explained in some detail. The complete sensor construction process is described.
