TLDR
An in vivo method and apparatus for detecting an analyte in an individual was proposed in this article. But, the method required the individual to be in contact with a sensor that was configured to retain the fluorescence reagent while allowing analyte to diffuse into and out of the sensor.Abstract:
An in vivo method and apparatus for detecting an analyte in an individual. A sensor that includes a fluorescence reagent is placed in communication with the body fluids of the individual suspected of containing the analyte in such a way that once in place said sensor does not exit the skin of the individual. The sensor is configured to retain the fluorescence reagent while allowing analyte to diffuse into and out of said sensor. The sensor is illuminated transdermally, and the fluorescence from the fluorescence reagent associated with the presence of the analyte is measured.read more
