FLUORESCENT GEL FOR GLUCOSE DETECTION AND CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING METHOD USING SAME

摘要

[Problem] To provide a novel fluorescent gel for glucose detection, in which gel fibrillation can be prevented even during prolonged implantation and which enables continuous glucose level measurement in vivo, and a continuous glucose monitoring using the fluorescent gel.[Solution] A fluorescent gel for glucose detection having a three-dimensional network structure in which a plurality of tetra-armed polymers having a polyethylene glycol skeleton are crosslinked together at the termini thereof, wherein a fluorochrome unit, said fluorochrome unit being capable of exhibiting a fluorescent response when bound to glucose, is immobilized in the gel structure via a covalent bond.
