IONIC RESERVOIR AT ELECTRODE SURFACE

摘要

The present invention relates to electrode membrane combinations for use in biosensors. The membrane is attached to the electrode by means of a linker molecule in a manner such that a hydrophilic space is provided between the membrane and the electrode. The linker molecule comprises within the same molecule a hydrophobic region which constitutes at least a proportion of the amphiphilic molecules mak- ing up the membrane or is attached to or is em- bedded in the membrane, an attachment region attached to the electrode and a hydrophilic re- gion intermediate said hydrophobic and attach- ment regions. The hydrophilic region spans the space between the membrane and the electrode.
