Abstract
A tissue-implantable sensor for measurement of solutes in fluids and gases, such as oxygen and glucose, is provided. The sensor includes a multiplicity of detectors, constructed and arranged to improve the probability that one or more detectors will have access to a vascular source at points in time sufficient to permit accurate measurements to be taken. Means and methods for calculating solute levels using the sensor device of the invention are also provided.
