A hydrogel condom containing an antioxidant can provide increased sexual pleasure, thus improving usage and resulting in prevention of disease and prevention of unwanted pregnancies.

Hydrogel condom

The present invention includes an apparatus, system and method for stochastic sensing of an analyte to a protein pore. The protein pore may be an engineer protein pore, such as an ion channel at temperatures above 55&#xb0; C. and even as high as near 100&#xb0; C. The analyte may be any reactive analyte, including chemical weapons, environmental toxins and pharmaceuticals. The analyte covalently bonds to the sensor element to produce a detectable electrical current signal. Possible signals include change in electrical current. Detection of the signal allows identification of the analyte and determination of its concentration in a sample solution. Multiple analytes present in the same solution may also be detected.
