A glucose sensor in the form of a skin patch (2) has a microneedle (4) which painlessly penetrates the skin to draw out interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid passes to a common entrance port (7). A series of microchannels (8) is provided on the skin patch. The fluid drawn onto the patch is selectively switched between a number of microchannels (8) by means of electro-osmotic pumps (10) and hydrophobic gates (12). Each microchannel (8) has an electrochemical detector (11) for sensing glucose concentration. Also disclosed is a monolithic device with an integrated lance (83).

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 19, 2001 and granted May 6, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 19, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 19, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
