摘要：
A glucose sensor for measurement of glucose in subcutaneous tissue, the sensor comprising: a probe for subcutaneous insertion, the probe containing an indicator system comprising a receptor for selectively binding to glucose and a fluorophore associated with said receptor, wherein the fluorophore has a fluorescence lifetime of less than 100 ns a detector head which is optically connected to the probe and which is for location outside the body a light source and a detector arranged to receive fluorescent light emitted from the indicator system, wherein the light source and detector are optionally located within the detector head wherein the sensor is arranged to measure glucose concentration in subcutaneous tissue by monitoring the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore.
