How to improve the performance of electrochemical sensors

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for improving the usability of an electrochemical glucose sensor by reducing settling time and susceptibility to interfering compounds. Especially. The settling time of the electrochemical glucose sensor is improved by pretreating the working electrode with a negative current at a constant current density. The sensitivity of the sensor to interfering compounds is reduced by operating the sensor with a reduced voltage while glucose concentration measurements are performed.
