New Biosensor Accurately Measures Glucose in Saliva

The technology, originally acquired from the University of Newcastle in Australia, uses modified organic thin film transistors, which work in combination with glucose oxidase, to measure the concentration of glucose in a sample. The complete system consists of a Glucose Biosensor Unit, which does the measurements, and an accompanying smartphone app that talks to the biosensor and displays the readings once they're taken. Glucose in saliva is present in lower quantities than in blood,...
