Abstract
Abstract A method is proposed of obtaining a chemical interaction between at least one reagent trapped in sol-gel glass by doping it with the reagent, and diffusible solutes or components in an adjacent liquid or gas phase. The reagents, the solutes or the components can be any organic or inorganic compounds or materials of biological origin including enzymes. The doped sol-gel glass in various forms may be useful as analytical test, chromatographic medium, sensor, catalyst or biocatalyst, electrode or enzyme electrode, or other detection device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A process for the preparation of a reactive sol-gel glass, comprising polymerizing at least one monomer of the formula M(R) n (P) m and selected from the group consisting of metal alkoxides, semi-metal alkoxides, metal esters and semi-metal esters, wherein M is a metallic or semi-metallic element, R is a hydrolyzable substituent, n is an integer of 1 to 6, P is a non-polymerizable substituent and m is an integer of 0 to 6, and optionally an organic monomer, under acidic, neutral or basic conditions and in the presence of a dopant to form a porous xerogel containing the dopant trapped therein, said polymerization including a gelling step conducted at not greater than room temperature and a drying step conducted at not greater than 45° C., said dopant being selected from the group consisting of organic compounds, stable organic radicals, organometallic compounds, inorganic compounds and molecules of biological origin, the dopant being reactive after preparation of the xerogel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
