摘要 |
The present invention relates to an electrochemical sensor for measuring glucose in a sample, comprising: an electrode support (1) having an electrode arrangement thereon, the electrode arrangement including a working electrode (5) and a reference electrode (4), the working electrode (5) having a thin working layer thereon, the thin working layer containing electrochemical assay reaction components including an enzyme that uses glucose as a substrate and a redox mediator; a hydrophilic mesh layer (9, 10) overlaying a sample loading area and the electrode arrangement; and a cover layer (13) positioned over the mesh layer (9, 10), defining an upper boundary of a cell volume encompassing the electrode arrangement, the cover layer (13) having a hydrophobic coating thereon. |
