A biocompatible, human implantable apparatus and a method for fully encasing a circuit within a polymer housing. The method may include placing the circuit in a mold, injecting a formulation into the mold, and polymerizing the formulation. The formulation may include monomers and polymers. The apparatus may include a circuit in a polymerized formulation of monomers and polymers.

The present invention provides a method for increasing the lifetime of an optical sensor. In one aspect, the method includes the step of configuring the optical sensor so that the duty cycle of sensor's radiant source is less than 100% over a continuous period amount of time when the sensor is periodically obtaining data regarding an analyte. By operating the sensor according to the above inventive method, the indicator molecules of the optical sensor are not excited during the entire continuous period of time during which the sensor is needed to provide data regarding the presence or concentration of a substance. Thus, the method increases the life of the indicator molecules.

The invention relates to immobilization methods, in particular for immobilizing indicator molecules on supports such as sensors and to sensors having those molecules immobilized to their surface. Non-covalent immobilization of macromolecular indicator molecules on those supports via mechanical interlacing with polymers at the surface of a support and via ionic bonding via charged moieties of indicator molecules and ionic groups on the surface of the support are disclosed.
