Advances toward commercialization of a new generation of low cost (O)LED-based dissolved oxygen and bioanalyte monitors

Recent advances toward commercialization of a new generation of low-cost LED- and OLED-based monitors for dissolved oxygen (DO), and multiple (bio)analytes such as glucose, lactate, alcohol, and cholesterol are described. The design of the DO monitors, which contain no optical fibers, filters, mirrors, or lens, is significantly simpler and consequently lower-cost than that of commercial LED-based DO monitors. The multiple (bio)analyte monitors are based on a DO monitor and the oxidase enzyme specific to each analyte. The potential advantages and disadvantages of the OLED- vs LED-based monitors is also discussed.
