Wellenleiterkern und Biosensor

(B3) Ein Wellenleiterkern (110) aus Hydrogel dient als Immobilisierungsmatrix, in die Rezeptormolekuele (120) eingebettet sind.

EP 2088423 A1 UPAB: 20090826 NOVELTY - The wave guide core (110) has a length and a cross section and is made of hydrogel, which is provided as immobilization matrix, in which receptor molecules (120) are arranged. A cross section has a smallest circumference, which is thrice smaller than the length. The cross section has a greater circumference (b) and a smaller circumference (h), where the greater circumference and the smaller circumference lie in an area between 10 millimeter, 0.5 millimeter and 5 millimeter. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for detecting an analyte in a medium. USE - Wave guide core for optical sensor (Claimed). ADVANTAGE - The wave guide core has a length and a cross section and is made of hydrogel, which is provided as immobilization matrix, in which receptor molecules are arranged, and hence ensures simple and cost-effective production of wave guide core.
