Abstract
A biosensor comprises a substrate; a reference electrode; a working electrode; a counter electrode; and a plurality of permeability adjusting spacers. The reference electrode, the working electrode and the plurality of permeability adjusting spacers are all being disposed to be substantially parallel to each other to create a plurality of enzyme containing porous sections. The enzyme containing porous sections contain an enzyme; where the enzyme is operative to react with a metabolite to determine the concentration of the metabolite. By combining a number of the aforementioned biosensors, the differential concentration of a target enzyme or protein is determined by monitoring the changes on its metabolite substrates.
