Improved polymer matrices which incorporate fluorescent biosensor molecules
as well as methods of making and using these polymer matrices are described. Such
matrices can be used in fluorescent biosensors and biosensor systems, including
those which are used in the detection of polyhydroxylated analytes such as glucose.
The properties of the polymer matrices of the invention renders biosensors utilizing
such matrices particularly well-suited for detecting and measuring in-vivo glucose concentrations.
