A novel electrocatalytic glucose sensor demonstrates promising long-term stability for in vivo blood sugar monitoring. The implantable device showed good blood compatibility and reliable calibration over 24 days in sheep carotid arteries.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Electrochemical Sensors
  • In Vivo Monitoring

Background:

  • Continuous glucose monitoring is crucial for diabetes management.
  • Existing in vivo glucose sensors face challenges with long-term stability and biocompatibility.
  • Development of reliable electrochemical sensors for direct glucose measurement in blood is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an electrocatalytic glucose sensor for long-term in vivo application.
  • To assess the sensor's performance, stability, and biocompatibility when implanted in a blood vessel.
  • To determine the feasibility of using this sensor for continuous blood glucose level monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • A flow-through electrochemical cell with a membrane-covered noble-metal electrode was designed.

  • The sensor was implanted in the carotid artery of a sheep for 71 days.
  • Blood flow, calibration stability, and cross-sensitivity to common blood analytes were evaluated.

    • Main Results:

    • The sensor demonstrated good blood compatibility with stable blood flow over 71 days.
    • A calibration remained valid for 24 days with a mean error of 2.3 mmol/l.
    • Tolerable cross-sensitivity was observed for most small molecules, with minor adjustments needed for lactate and ethanol.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed electrocatalytic glucose sensor shows potential for long-term in vivo blood sugar monitoring.
    • Promising stability and biocompatibility suggest its suitability for intravasal applications.
    • Further modifications towards a catheter-type design are recommended for practical intravasal use.
