A wound sensor comprising at least one electrode () and a non-adherent porous layer () proximate at least part of the electrode.

Wound dressing with impedance sensor

A method for characterising cells or cell structures in a sample comprising: obtaining at least one normalized impedance response of the sample over at least one frequency range; and characterising at least one cell using at least one characteristic of the normalized impedance response.

Bacterial/cellular recognition impedance algorithm

A transdermal device () for sensing one or more analytes in a biological fluid, the device () comprising a liquid or gel layer (); a sensor () located in the liquid or gel layer () for sensing analyte in the gel layer and an outer layer () that is adapted to bind with or trap the one or more analytes of interest, wherein the device () is arranged so that in use the analyte is continuously drawn out of the liquid or gel () and into the outer layer () and the analyte concentration as a function of position across the gel/liquid has a defined profile.

Transdermal device

Automatic diagnostic apparatus includes: a controller for controlling operation of the apparatus and for processing data; a sensing system operably connected to the controller for performing an assay, preferably an electrochemical assay (more preferably an electrochemical immunoassay), of a sample and communicating data from the assay to the controller; voltage supply means for applying a potential differential to the sensing system; and output means for communicating processed data to a user.

Automatic diagnostic apparatus

An assay for the presence of an analyte or determining a biological or medical parameter comprising the steps of adding an assay component to a pH-sensitive material charged with magnetic particles, wherein the assay component causes a pH change which is a function of the analyte or parameter to be measured; subjecting the magnetic particles to an oscillating magnetic field; and measuring the effect of the magnetic field on the magnetic particles. The assay is an enzyme immunoassay. A kit for practicing the enzyme immunoassay is also described.
