Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
An enzyme electrode for sensing the presence of at least one component of a mixture of components, said enzyme electrode comprising: (a) an enzyme, the catalytic activity of said enzyme being indicative of said component, (b) a non-physiological electron transfer mediator between the enzyme and electron collector, said mediator being covalently attached to an insoluble, flexible siloxane polymer backbone in sufficient number to form an electron relay system, (c) and an electron collector, said enzyme and said mediator-containing siloxane polymer backbone being in an immobilized state in contact with said electron collector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
An enzyme electrode for sensing the presence of at least one component of a mixture of components, said enzyme electrode comprising: (a) an enzyme, the catalytic activity of said enzyme being indicative of said component, (b) a non-physiological electron transfer mediator between the enzyme and electron collector, said mediator being covalently attached to an insoluble, flexible siloxane polymer backbone in sufficient number to form an electron relay system, (c) and an electron collector, said enzyme and said mediator-containing siloxane polymer backbone being in an immobilized state in contact with said electron collector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The enzyme electrode of claim 1, wherein the mediator is ferrocene or a substituted ferrocene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The enzyme electrode of claim 2, wherein the mediator is selected from the group consisting of ferrocene, 1,1'-dicarboxyferrocene, carboxyferrocene, vinylferrocene, 1,1'-dimethylferrocene, ferrocenyl-monocarboxylic acid, hydroxyethylferrocene, and 1,1'-bis(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
