Amperometric glucose sensor: short-term, in vivo test.

The influence of selected physiologic coreactants on current-voltage scans of a (Pt-pvc) Pt electrode (the working electrode of the amperometric glucose sensor) was tested. It was shown that the electrode is sufficiently sensitive to glucose even in a case when a strong interference of tested substances was observed. On the basis of the preliminary in vivo measurements it was concluded that after the proper pretreatment, the amperometric glucose sensor can be used for short-term blood glucose monitoring.
