| | Subcutaneous glucose electrode - Patent 5593852 |
 | | The recess 6 in the insulated electrode extends from the tip 16 of the electrode which is open to the surrounding environment, to the top 18 of the wire 2 in the insulating sheath, generally for a length c of less than about 0.150 mm, and preferably about 0.125 mm. |
 | | At operating potentials of approximately -0.10 to +0.25 for the glucose biosensor, the rate of electrooxidation of interferants such as ascorbate, urate and acetaminophen is very slow relative to that of glucose through its physiological concentration range. |
 | | All of the points, from both electrodes, were in regions A and B, with 43 of the 48 points being in region A. The three points in region B near 100 mg/dl glucose, for the electrode implanted between the scapulae, were the last three points of the experiment, at about 410 min. |
