An analytical system for detecting a saccharide is provided. The analytical system includes a saccharide sensor attached to a solid substrate and having the formula: Where Z is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups, an aryl; N is a nitrogen atom; B<SUB>d1 </SUB>and B<SUB>d2 </SUB>are independently selected binding groups, wherein the binding groups are capable of binding an saccharide; Sp is a spacer; An is an anchor group for attaching the sensor to solid substrate, including a bead; and n=1 or 2, m=1 or 2, y=1 or 2, and p is an integer. In one embodiment the saccharide sensor preferentially detects glucose. The invention further provides beads having the saccharide sensor attached thereto and methods of detecting glucose using the system. |
