We report on a survey of senior clinicians in 11 countries which asked about what they see as the main areas where in vivo chemical sensors will be most useful in medicine, and about what their operating characteristics should be. This information may help those designing such sensors to match avail

The latest workshop of the European Community (EC) Concerted Action on 'Chemical sensors for in vivo monitoring' was held in Nauplion, Greece, in April this year. This fifth workshop focused on 'The design and development of new sensors for in vivo monitoring', and was organized into five sessions:
This paper reports the development of an electronics package designed for use with an implantable amperometric glucose biosensor. The package includes a potentiostat to bias the sensor and a telemetry unit to transmit information from the sensor to an external receiver and datacollection computer. T
Electrode fouling and biocompatibility problems remain the greatest obstacles to developing a stable glucose sensor for continuous in aivo monitoring in whole blood. Nafion encapsulation successfully prevents electrode fouling, and substantially inproves the stability and performance of whole blood
A miniature needle-type lactate sensor prepared by coupling the enzyme lactate oxidase (LCD) with an hydrogen peroxide probe has been developed which makes possible real-time in vivo lactate measurements. The sensor has a size of 0.35 mm o.d. with a cylindrical sensing cavity in which a multilayer d
