A sensor for a selected analyte in a test sample has (a) a semipermeable
membrane with pores for retaining the analyte, where the membrane has
been chemically modified by attachment of membrane modifiers; (b)
immunoassay labels which have label binding ligands where these label
binding ligands will have a binding affinity for the membrane modifiers
in the presence of the analyte, and a measurably different binding
affinity for the membrane modifiers in the absence of the analyte; and
(c) a label detecting system, for detecting the presence of the labels on
the membrane.
