Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a creatinine sensor material having a first layer of a protonated pH sensitive fluorophore immobilized in a hydrophobic polymer, wherein the fluorophore can react quantitatively with ammonia and the transducing moiety of the fluorophore is neutrally charged when deprotonated; a second layer of creatinine deiminase and a polymer; and a third layer of a polymer. The present invention also provides a method for detecting creatinine using the creatinine sensor material and optical sensing devices that incorporate the creatinine sensor material.
