Concentrations of non-ionic species in aqueous media are measured as a
function of potentiometric or polarographic response, employing a membrane
electrode selective for the non-ionic species being measured. The
electrode comprises a conductive substrate and a membrane formed as a
layer on the conductive substrate and adapted for interfacing with the
aqueous medium. The membrane is composed of a polymeric matrix having
dispersed or dissolved therein an anion exchange material and a
water-insoluble salt of the non-ionic species being measured. The
electrode is particularly suitable for use as an implantable glucose
sensor for continuous in vivo monitoring of glucose concentration in the
blood or interstitial fluid.
