Abstract
A sensor that is capable of accurately measuring glucose and other analytes in low oxygen environments is provided. The sensor employs an enzyme-containing membrane comprising a semi-interpenetrating polymer network which is infiltrated by an enzyme. The enzyme-containing membrane increases oxygen transport to the enzyme such that oxygen is not a limiting factor in the oxidation taking place at the enzyme.
