Determination of glucose concentration in tissue
First Claim
1. Measuring apparatus to determine and monitor tissue glucose concentration, comprising a microdialysis probe (12) implantable into the tissue (10) and being loadable at its inlet side through a perfusate line (21) with a perfusion solution (18) and being connected at its outlet side through a dialysate line (22) to an flow through test cell (14), and conveyor unit (26) mounted in the perfusate or dialysate line to move the perfusion solution through the microdialysis probe (12) to the test cell (14), characterized by at least one reservoir (20) containing dissolved glucose in a predetermined initial concentration and connected to the perfusate line (21).
