Abstract
Abstract A glucose sensor in which a gel is in contact with a pH sensing element. The gel contains immobilized glucose oxidase and gluconolactonase (EC 3.1.1.17). Gluconolactonase is present in an amount effective to accelerate the hydrolysis of D-glucono-δ-lactone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
42 words
A glucose sensor comprising (1) a gel in which glucose oxidase is immobilized and (2) a pH sensing element in sensing contact with said gel wherein said gel contains gluconolactonase (EC 3.1.1.17) in an amount effective to accelerate the hydrolysis of D-glucono-δ-lactone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
A glucose sensor comprising (1) a gel in which glucose oxidase is immobilized and (2) a pH sensing element in sensing contact with said gel wherein said gel contains gluconolactonase (EC 3.1.1.17) in an amount effective to accelerate the hydrolysis of D-glucono-δ-lactone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A glucose sensor as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pH sensing element is a pH-ISFET.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A glucose sensor as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pH sensing element is a pH glass electrode.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
