BACKGROUND 10 SUMMARY The present invention relates to reagents, methods and devices for measurement of analytes and, more particularly, The scope of the present invention is defined solely by the to reagents, methods and devices for the measurement of appended claims, and is not affected to any degree by the glucose in the blood. statements within this Summary. By way of introduction, the The monitoring of certain analyte concentrations in the 15 presently preferred embodiments described herein are body enables early detection of health risks, and identifies directed towards remedying the aforementioned stability the need for the introduction of therapeutic measures. One of problems of electron transfer mediators and enzyme biosen the most commonly monitored analytes is glucose, the blood SOS. concentration of which is important in determining the Briefly stated, a composition aspect of the present inven appropriate dosages of insulin for diabetics. Various meth tion is directed to a reagent for detecting an analyte, com ods have been developed for monitoring glucose levels in prising (a) an enzyme selected from the group consisting of the blood, including the use of electrochemical biosensors. a flavoprotein, a quinoprotein, and a combination thereof. Electrochemical biosensors are based on enzyme-catalyzed and (b) a mediator selected from the group consisting of a chemical reactions involving the analyte of interest. In the phenothiazine, a phenoxazine, and a combination thereof. case of glucose monitoring, the relevant chemical reaction is 25 A first apparatus aspect of the present invention is directed the oxidation of glucose to gluconolactone. This oxidation is to an electrochemical sensor comprising: (a) a working catalyzed by a variety of enzymes, some of which may electrode having a Surface; and (b) a second electrode contain a bound coenzyme Such as nicotinamide adenine coupled to the working electrode. The surface of the work dinucleotide (phosphate) (NAD(P)), while others may con ing electrode is coated with a solution or mixture of a tain a bound cofactor Such as flavin adenine dinucleotide 30 reagent comprising an enzyme selected from the group (FAD) or pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ).
