Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a sensor assembly that has a substrate with a first and second surface, with a sensor positioned on the substrate. The substrate has an interior surface and an exterior surface, and the sensor is placed on the interior or exterior surface of the substrate tube. This design allows for better protection of the sensor and improved accuracy in measuring the analyte.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with the current systems is that in order to reduce sample volume requirements, the flow channel cross-section and / or length must be reduced which, in turn, can limit the sensor membrane cross-section and its total volume.

Abstract

A sensor assembly has a substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, at least one analyte sensor positioned on at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the substrate, and at least one electrical contact positioned on the substrate in electrical communication with a corresponding one of the at least one analyte sensor. The substrate is configured to define a tube having an interior surface, and an exterior surface. At least a portion of the first surface of the substrate defines the interior surface of the tube, and the at least one analyte sensor is disposed on at least one of the interior surface and the exterior surface of the tube.

Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE[0001]The entirety of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 636,840, filed on Apr. 23, 2012, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIVE CONCEPTS[0002]1. Field of the Inventive Concepts[0003]The inventive concepts disclosed and claimed herein relate generally to systems and methods for performing fluid diagnostic testing and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to sensor assemblies and methods of making sensor assemblies having electrochemical sensors for simultaneously measuring a plurality of parameters in fluid diagnostic testing using low volume samples.[0004]2. Brief Description of Related Art[0005]Bio-sensor arrays are useful in chemistry and medicine to determine the presence and concentration of a biological analyte. For example, various types of analytical tests related to patient diagnosis and therapy can be performed by analysis of a liquid sample taken from a patient's infections, bodily fluid...
