Abstract
Generally, embodiments of the invention relate to analyte determining methods and devices (e.g., electrochemical analyte monitoring systems) that have improved uniformity of distribution of one or more components of the sensor by inclusion of a low surface tension polymer leveling agent, where the components are disposed proximate to a working electrode of in vivo and/or in vitro analyte sensors, e.g., continuous and/or automatic in vivo monitoring using analyte sensors and/or test strips. Also provided are systems and methods of using the, for example electrochemical, analyte sensors in analyte monitoring.

17. A method for monitoring a level of an analyte in a subject, the method comprising:
-
positioning at least a portion of an analyte sensor into skin of a subject, wherein the sensor comprises; a working electrode comprising a sensing layer proximate thereto; a counter electrode; and a low surface tension polymer disposed proximate to the sensing layer, and determining a level of an analyte over a period of time from signals generated by the sensor; wherein the determining over a period of time provides for monitoring the level of the analyte in the subject. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
